Disclaimer: The Black Jewels World belongs to Anne Bishop. My character
is Shayna. If I've forgotten any, it shouldn't be difficult to tell which
ones are mine.
Dedication: to my ever faithful friends Kris (Jaenelle) and Brenna (Karla).
My name is Gabrielle. I am the Queen of the Dea al Mon, and the first in a great while to be a Black Widow and Healer as well. My husband, Chaosti, is a Gray-Jeweled Warlord Prince. Since the time of Witch, our way of life has been perfect.
Had been.
Then, a stranger arrived. We had thought that Jaenelle's sacrifice had been the end, but we were wrong. So wrong.
This stranger is a Red-Jeweled Black Widow Queen, like my daughter. She is Dea al Mon in her blood, but in her heart, she is Terreillean. And not the Terreillean of the present. Of the past.
She will take the throne from my family. My daughter has the strength to wear the Black and defend her position as heir, but not if this stranger kills her first.
The stranger arrived and assumed authority. Only my position as Queen stopped her from seizing control. She is savage, calculating, malicious. She desires only one thing: power.
And our only hope for destroying this threat is my sixteen-year-old daughter.
