A prequel set in the "dark and sensual world"( 11th Hour) of the national bestselling Black Jewels Trilogy.
Jared is a Red-Jeweled Warlord bound as a pleasure slave by the Ring of Obedience. After suffering nine years of torment as a slave, he murdered his owner and escapedonly to be caught and sold into slavery once again. The notorious queen who has purchased him, known as the Gray Lady, may not be what she seems. Soon, Jared faces a difficult choice: his freedom, or his honor.
Captivating storytelling...I found myself not so much reading the book as devouring it.

January 10, 2010: I think I would have enjoyed this book more if the main characters in this book were in the other books in the series. I grew attached to Daemon, Saetan, Lucivar and Janelle.... they were not part of this story (well, Daemon was but not much...) It was a good story but I would not have thought it to be part of the Black Jewels series if it didn't say it on the cover.

September 02, 2009: If you're a fan of Anne Bishop's Black Jewels Trilogy you will be glad to return to the world of the Blood. This novel is technically a prequel to the Trilogy, but the characters are familiar archetypes of the previous books. Strong female characters, 'damaged' or 'broken' spirited males, and magic.
I Also Recommend: Dreams Made Flesh (Black Jewels Series #4), Tangled Webs (Black Jewels Series #5), The Shadow Queen (Black Jewels Series #7), The Black Jewels Trilogy, Requiem for the Sun (Symphony of Ages Series #4).
