Blurb: Thanks to Orannia for the heads up!
Return to the “intense...erotic...and imaginative”* world of the national bestselling Black Jewels novels with this sequel to The Shadow Queen. In Anne Bishop’s “vividly painted”** realm, witches and warlocks channel their power through magical jewels—and one Queen has emerged from the shadows to bring hope to an impoverished people…
For years the Shalador people suffered the cruelties of the corrupt Queens who ruled them, forbidding their traditions, punishing those who dared show defiance, and forcing many more into hiding. And even though the refugees found sanctuary in Dena Nehele, they have never been able to call it home.
Now that Dena Nehele has been cleansed of tainted Blood, the Rose-Jeweled Queen, Lady Cassidy, makes it her duty to restore the land and prove her ability to rule. She knows that undertaking this task will require all her heart and courage as she summons the untested power within her, a power capable of consuming her if she cannot control it.
And even if Lady Cassidy survives her trial by fire, other dangers await. For the Black Widows see visions within their tangled webs that something is coming that will change the land—and Lady Cassidy—forever…
Due out in March 2010!

I wants it now....and I really, really wants Surreal story!
*nod nod* Me too!
I seriously need to play catch up on this series - looks at shelf - I still have three more books to read in this series and this one seems good! Love the cover and how the exudes the Anne Bishop vibe again!
Leontine: I particularly liked Dreams Made Flesh especially Lucivar's story. I love Anne Bishop's covers. And this one is no exception!
