Dena Nehele is a land decimated by its past. Once it was ruled by corrupt Queens who were wiped out when the land was cleansed of tainted Blood. Now, only 100 Warlord Princes stand - without a leader and without hope.
Theran Grayhaven is the last of his line, desperate to find the key that reveals a treasure great enough to restore Dena Nehele. But first he needs to find a Queen who remembers the Blood's code of honor and lives by the Old Ways. The woman chosen to rule Dena Nehele, Lady Cassidy, is not beautiful and believes she is not strong. But she may be the only one able to convince bitter men to serve once again.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Surges with spellcraft and engaging romance.” (Publishers Weekly)
“In this stand-alone novel set in the evocative Black Jewels world, Bishop tackles surviving various horrors head-on...It’s a difficult subject, but one that Bishop writes about sensitively, with compassion and without blinking or pulling punches.” (RT Book Reviews)

still a great storyline

The book is good, and gives an enjoyable glimpse into another aspect of this world; because of the reader, I preferred reading to listening.
Consistent voices would help

After appealing to Daemon Saudi, Theron, Grayhaven's heir, is beyond disappointed with Ebon Askavi's offering of a Queen.
Theron's an @$$. Through the whole book. But the other characters, particularly Gray, and the Saetan/Damon/Janelle subplot is superb.
But, *what* happened to the narrator??? After performing Janelle for three books, she suddenly developed a Scottish accent??? Everytime she spoke, it hurled me out of the story. Equally annoying (okay almost equally) was the way the narrator occasionally dropped out of character during dialogue from Lucivar and Daemon.
I've read and loved the entire Dark Jewel series since their original publication. I remember waiting anxiously for each new book. The Shadow Queen, while clearly the middle of a second trilogy, stands alone as an uncut gem. If only the narrator had done it justice...
Another Jewel from Anne Bishop

There is a bit too much about Daemon and his Sadist urges though - I thought it was more like an add-on to bring back old characters and had little to add to the actual story of Cassidy and her Court. There is also a little substory about Saetan which was also sort of odd in the context of Cassidy's story, but I guess Bishop wanted to keep us up-to-date on the goings on with the "family".
It's not as dark or heavy as the trilogy, but is quite similar in tone to the Invisible Ring - although it was more about internal angst and in-fighting and stereotypes than fighting versus an external enemy. I'm starting the next in the series right now - it didn't really end in a cliffhanger, but you know there's more to Cassidy's story so you'll want to read the next book in the series to find out what happens.
This is the only book in the series I've listened to in audio and, for the most part, the narration was good - he mispronounces a few words and Jaenelle is read with an "Eastern Canadian?" accent in this book which didn't really fit what I expected. But otherwise, you can tell who's talking from tone/accent and whether or not they are speaking or using psychic communications.
Not as dark as the trilogy
