Winner of the William L. Crawford Memorial Fantasy Award, Anne Bishop weaves mysticism, eroticism, and adventure into this stunning follow-up to her bestselling The Shadow Queen. Finding sanctuary in Dena Nehele, the impoverished Shalador people are finally in a position to create new lives following years of oppression at the hands of the Queens who once ruled over them. Emerging to lead them is the Rose-Jeweled Queen Lady Cassidy, whose destiny will forever be altered by an impending arrival.
