About this ebook

In the astonishing conclusion of Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels Trilogy, the Dark Court has been formed and the end—for some—draws exceedingly near...
 
Jaenelle Angelline now reigns as Queen—protector of the Shadow Realm. No longer will the corrupt Blood slaughter her people and defile her lands. But where one chapter ends, a final, unseen battle remains to be written, and Jaenelle must unleash the terrible power that is Witch to destroy her enemies once and for all.
 
Even so, she cannot stand alone. Somewhere, long lost in madness, is Daemon, her promised Consort. Only his unyielding love can complete her Court and secure her reign. Yet, even together, their strength may not be enough to hold back the most malevolent of forces.
 
And in the end, under the emergent shadow of evil and unforeseen betrayal, only Jaenelle’s greatest sacrifice will save those she loves—and the realm she’s bound to protect...

Ratings and reviews

Love Anne Bishop's novels concerning The Blood. If you go into this book expecting a made-up world to act the same as our world, then you just have no imagination. Anne creates a world that is complex, exciting, and fun to explore. I have read all three books in the trilogy at least ten times each, and I love them more each time I read them.

In the middle of the third book and got to say that while exploring extremely important issues, the trilogy quickly exhausts the feeling of depth or relevance for that matter. It just seems like the author knew well what she was doing in the first book, and then just lost her train of thought. Everybody is hurt, miscommunication is abound and well that is it, there is nothing else. If you find the page that does not have "snarled", "hissed" or "Mother Night" in it consider your self lucky.

If you've already made it to the third book you know why this series awesome, dark, heartwrenching and romantically morbid. I couldn't put the series down and this finale was everything I wanted and more.
