Review Summaries
"In the world of the Blood, a witch is dreams made flesh. The three strongest dreamers, dark and dangerous men, have waited for centuries for her to come so that they can serve in her court. But when they finally meet her, she is extraordinary, powerful, everything they had dreamed of--and she is a child, vulnerable to the forces that would seek to use her for their own purposes. These three men use their own powers and to protect her." Ashareh, Resident Anne Bishop Scholar
"The most powerful person ever to walk the planet is the young girl, Jaenelle. Three males try to protect her from the High Priestess, Dorothea, who systematically destroys all potential rivals. But two of the males are slaves, and the other is dead..." Sarah B, Resident Anne Bishop Scholar
"Daemon Sadi, Lucivar, and Saetan prepare for the arrival of Witch, who will save their Realms from Dorothea SaDiablo and her cronies. Book One of the Black Jewels Trilogy." Christine G., Resident Anne Bishop Scholar
