The Queen's Weapons
By Anne BishopPublisher Description
Enter the dark and sensual realms of the Black Jewels, a world where power always has a price, in this sweeping story in the New York Times bestselling fantasy saga.
They are Warlord Princes, men born to serve and protect. They are the Queen's Weapons, men born to destroy the Queen's enemies--no matter what face that enemy wears.
Daemonar Yaslana knows how to be bossy yet supportive--traits he shares with his father, the Demon Prince, and his uncle, the High Lord of Hell. Within his generation of the family, he assumes the role of protector, supporting his sister Titian’s artistic efforts and curbing his cousin Jaenelle Saetien’s more adventurous ideas. But when a young Eyrien Queen, someone Titian thought was a friend, inflicts an emotional wound, Daemonar's counterattack brings him under the tutelage of Witch, the Queen whose continued existence is known only to a select few.
As Daemonar is confronted by troubling changes within and around the family, he sees warnings that a taint in the Blood might be reappearing. Daemonar, along with his father and uncle, must uncover the source of a familiar evil--and Daemon Sadi, the High Lord of Hell, may be forced into making a terrible choice.

“Woof. I got about 150 pages into this bad boy before deciding to toss it in the DNF bin.
Thank you to the souls out there who outline the plot in their good reads review. You saved me a few hours of my life trying to finish this thing.
Anne Bishop’s writing style has really gone down hill for me. I felt like she was constantly hitting us over the head with reminders of previous plot points from not just the entire series but even earlier chapters of the book! It was written in such a cheap young adult fashion - like how the first two chapters of the early Harry Potter books tend to be a tv episode recap of major plot point of the book before. Except, sometimes it would be about a chapter you JUST finished reading. I just felt like it was insulting my intelligence at times.
The plot is so low level boring compared to the plot of the original trilogy. How can you expect me to watch these characters react with the same level of drama and war readiness over some petty teenage BS? I quit just as JS was about to sign up for school. I suspected the rest of the book was going to morph into following her school adventures and it’s honestly not the kind of book I signed up for to read.
I wish Anne Bishop had more clever ideas of where she could have gone with all of these characters. The path she chose was uninspired and dull. I’m not going to bother trying to read any more Black Jewels entries.”
