I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I realised that The Invisible Ring is actually a prequel to the first 3 books in the Black Jewels series and is about a whole new set of characters that I don't remember being mentioned previously. I was excited to be back in this world but I love Jaenelle, Daemon, Lucivar and Saetan so much and was sad we weren't getting to spend more time with them. Having said that I still found myself really enjoying this story and we do get a few glimpses of64 points/100 (3.25 stars/5).Set a few hundred years before the events of the trilogy, Jared is a pleasure slave trained by Daemon but killed a Queen and is about to be shipped off to the salt mines. However, he gets bought by the Grey Lady (brought up briefly in the trilogy) and they have to make the journey back to her territory.I went into this book knowing this was a prequel novel so I went in prepared. However, I was still incredibly disappointed with this book. Sure, it was because it was
I own the paperback of this book but I was binging Anne Bishop online with my library's ebook program when I re-read this one.I love this series and the world(s) it's set in. But while I got into the protagonist's mind, I didn't have as deep a connection with the Lady. Sometimes it was a bit convoluted even though I was able to catch up eventually with the twists and turns.I probably should have read this one in order to keep up.

This and Necromance by Gisele walko are the only romance books I have ever been able to get into, period. Not the only sensual erotica books. Only romance. This one stuck in my head so much that all these years later, I still go back from time to time just to read some of Daemon Sadi's quotes. There's intrigue, mystery, magic, and struggle for the greater good all in a setting that teaches us cynicism can only ever fall short against kindness and love.

He's ready for his destiny when hes purchased by the Gray Lady. Jared has heard of the Grey Lady and what he knows is that people fear her. When a slave is bought, by her, they are never seen or heard from again.Before the journey to her home in the mountains begins, she
Jared is one of the more powerful members of the Blood, the vaguely aristocratic magic-wielding rulers of the lands he lives in. After a life-alteringly bad choice in his teens, Jared has become a pleasure slave for the Queens and Witches of Hayll. After nine years of bowing to sadistic whims, he does something that has him headed for a short, brutal life in the salt mines unless some fool decides to buy him at the semi-annual slave market.Enter The Gray Lady. She is one of the few Queens that
This was the first Anne Bishop novel I've picked up, and I think it's also going to be my last. The beginning was promising, but I found the very complicated 'jewel' and 'blood' rankings mentioned to clarify different characters relationships throughout the book to be distracting. These caste relationships soon took over the plot of the book and the pace became plodding. Eventually I gave up and started skipping whole sections of the book in an effort to continue on with the initial plotline.
