Average rating4
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...

I can't recommend these books enough! If you love dark fantasy, you'll fall in love with this series. Anne Bishop weaves an amazing epic that explores the fine line between good and evil. Her characters, male and female, are incredibly strong and well written. You care about all of them and can't wait to read the next page to find out whether they make it through or not. At first glance, some might worry that it's about a helpless witch that must rely on strong male characters, but it becomes clear as you get further into it, that the three main male characters rely on her strength just as much as she relies on them. Beautifully erotic at the right moments so that it's not a porn with story sprinkled in; like too many female fantasy authors seem to do nowadays.
