My name is Selena Foster, and I am the first of my kind in a millennium. I thought that made me invincible. Untouchable. All it really makes me is a target…and a weapon. The Supernatural Council is going to war, and they've decided what better spear than the girl that can slay demons? So they blackmail me, and I become the property of the Council. They think they own me, but you can’t own what you can’t control. I thought the first year at Daizlei was hard...but the second might kill me. Either way, I'm not going down without a fight.

In the second novel set in the “darkly fascinating world” (SF Site) of Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels Trilogy, ambitions unfurl as the realm’s dreams of a liberator have finally been made flesh... The Blood have waited centuries for the coming of Witch, the living embodiment of magic. But Jaenelle, the young girl singled out by prophecy, is haunted by the cruel battles fought over her—for not all the Blood await her as their Savior. Some dismiss her as a myth. Some refuse to believe. And still others look forward to using her, making her a pawn to their shadowy devices. Only time and the devotion of her loyal guardians have healed Jaenelle’s physical wounds. But her mind is fragile, barely able to protect her from the horrifying memories of her childhood. Nothing, however, can deflect her from her destiny—and the day of reckoning looms near. When her memories return. When her magic matures. When she is forced to accept her fate. On that day, the dark Realms will know what it means to be ruled by Witch.
