Heir to the Shadows (Black Jewels, Book 2) by Anne Bishop


In this violently passionate, "darkly fascinating world,"** the Blood rule: a race of witches and warlocks whose power is channeled through magical jewels. Ambitions unfurl in this second novel of The Black Jewels Trilogy, as the realm's dreams of a liberator have finally been made flesh...

Jaenelle, singled out by prophecy as the living embodiment of magic, is haunted by the cruel battles the Blood have fought over her-for not all of them await her as their Savior. Nothing, however, can deflect her from her destiny-and the day of reckoning looms near. When her memories return. When her magic matures. When she is forced to accept her fate. On that day, the dark Realms will know what it means to be ruled by Witch.

I really enjoyed this book although it was a bit slow for me in the first half. The second half I didn't want to put down. Unfortunately I have a demanding 3 year old and I felt like I was rereading every paragraph because of all the interruptions. I can't wait to read the third book and hope there is more Daemon in it, which I assume there is. This book had more Lucivar and it was nice to get to know him. This is a great series, very creative. I rate it 4 stars.
