In a tumultuous world ruled by witches and warlocks who wear their power as jewels, one Queen’s chance at redemption is the last hope for a desperate people in this novel set in the world of the Black Jewels...
Theran Grayhaven is the last of his line, desperate to restore the land of Dena Nehele. But first he needs to find a Queen who knows Protocol, remembers the Blood’s code of honor, and lives by the Old Ways.
 
Languishing in the Shadow Realm, Lady Cassidy is a Queen without a court, a castoff. But when she is chosen to rule Dena Nehele, she must convince bitter men to serve once again.
 
Theran’s cousin Gray is a Warlord Prince who was damaged in mind and body by the vicious Queens who once ruled Dena Nehele. Yet something about Cassidy makes him want to serve—and makes him believe he can be made whole once again.
 
And only Cassidy can prove to Gray—and to herself—that wounds can heal and even the whisper of a promise can be fulfilled...

      Bishop's capable seventh Black Jewels fantasy soap opera installment (after 2008's Tangled Webs
      ) surges with spellcraft and engaging romance. The former queen of Bhak is now just plain Lady Cassidy from Dharo, since her entire court resigned to go serve prettier, better-connected Lady Kermilla. Warlord Prince Theran Grayhaven seeks a partner to help him restore his family's land after a violent uprising. With the help of the High Prince of Hell, he finds Cassidy, whose friends encourage her to accept his proposal and return to being a queen. All seems well until the pair run into compatibility problems, and Cassidy meets a mysterious gardener who calls to her heart. Bishop's epic has a complex history and will best be appreciated by readers familiar with earlier books.

      The land of Dena Nehele was defiled and nearly destroyed under corrupt queens. A true queen is needed to rebuild it, and Theran, last lord of his line, must find one who knows protocol and lives by the old ways. Lady Cassidy, banished from her former realm, doesnt expect to rule again, but, sent to Dena Nehele, she must convince bitter, desperate, maimed men to serve her. The story is straightforward, more readable than some others in the Black Jewels series, and you come to care about what happens to the characters. Some sex scenes need trimming, but, on the whole, charming.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
