The The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop is a richly drawn tapestry of magic and fantasy. I was completely drawn in to the book, and had trouble putting it down. There are three books: Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, and Queen of the Darkness.
The story revolves around an ancient prophecy seen by a Black Widow witch through dreams and visions. The Dark Realm waits with bated breath for the arrival of the Queen; a witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell.
The three main characters, Saetan, the High Lord of Hell, and his sons, Lucivar and Daemon, are, without doubt, three of the most powerful and sensual characters to grace a fantasy novel in a long time. This is a must read! I give it a 9/10.
Anne Bishop is a winner of the William L.Crawford Memorial Fantasy Award, presented by the International Association for the Fantastic, in the Arts, for the Black Jewels Trilogy.
