Witches

The Shadow Queen

by Anne Bishop · The Black Jewels series

A new queen rises in the shadow realm of Dena Nehele, a land poisoned by the corruption of the previous regime. Cassidy must rebuild a broken court and earn the loyalty of warlords who have learned not to trust Queens—quietly subversive, focused on governance rather than spectacle.
