From the New York Times bestselling author of the Novels of the Others comes the award-winning Black Jewels trilogy—Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, and Queen of the Darkness—together in one volume for the first time!Anne Bishop’s critically-acclaimed Black Jewels Trilogy is the saga of one young woman’s destiny played out against the backdrop of three powerful realms...Seven hundred years ago, a Black Widow witch saw an ancient prophecy come to life in her web of dreams and visions. Now the Dark Kingdom readies itself for the arrival of its Queen, a Witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell himself. But she is still young, still open to influence—and corruption. Whoever controls the Queen controls the darkness. Three men—sworn enemies—know this. And they know the power that hides behind the blue eyes of an innocent young girl. And so begins a ruthless game of politics and intrigue, magic and betrayal, where the weapons are hate and love—and the prize could be terrible beyond imagining...Includes an Introduction by Anne Bishop

"The best gender power role reversal I've ever read."
Mavis Ring
"The world-building was phenomenal; one of the best crafted fantasy worlds I have ever read. My only problem with the trilogy was the pacing; sometimes it crawled and other times it went so fast I found it hard to keep up."

"This has to be one of my favorite books ever! It is such a great story. "
Stephanie Hodge
"Who runs this motha? Girls. Well, women too. In this dark gothic tale of witches and warriors; you’ll find yourself immersed and meshed in the characters motives to the end."
Lee Watson
"I love "the others", but I couldn't get "into" these :("
Mylene Reiners
"Great dark fantasy series: snarly, protective males, great female characters, characters you’ll fall in love with. I will warn there are dark triggers for rape, pedophilia, and violence "

Savage Daughter
"Provides a different perspective in fantasy. Traditional roles of “villains” typically assigned to the protagonists’ races (i.e. undead, lord of hell, etc.) are flipped around and a world is built where they’re painted in a different light. Builds a great story without being overly sexual, which I like, as **** fantasy is not my cup of tea."

"Love It!!!"
Ru Ny Bu
"This is my all time favourite series that I've gone back and read at least ten times. Anne Bishop is so wonderful at building characters and fleshing them out with a well built world. I've managed to get several of my friends hooked on this trilogy and the following books as well!"
