Publisher's Summary
In this violently passionate, "darkly fascinating world", the Blood rule: a race of witches and warlocks whose power is channeled through magical jewels. Ambitions unfurl in this second novel of series, as the realm's dreams of a liberator have finally been made flesh: Jaenelle, singled out by prophecy as the living embodiment of magic, is haunted by the cruel battles the Blood have fought over her - for not all of them await her as their Savior.
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.
What the critics say
“Bishop seems to delight in turning fantasy conventions on their heads...still darkly opulent, often exotic.” (Locus)
“The fabulous talent of Anne Bishop is showcased in Heir to the Shadows.... Ms. Bishop’s striking magical concepts and powerful images are wonderfully leavened with unexpected dash and humor, creating an irresistible treat for fantasy fans.” (RT Book Reviews)
“Heir to the Shadows isn’t as dark as its predecessor.... All the other elements that made the first book such a gripping read are present: vivid and sympathetic characters, a fascinating and fully-realized magical system...lavish and sensuous descriptions, and interesting world building that turns traditional gender roles and concepts of dominance and submission on their heads.... It’s a terrific read, and I highly recommend both it and Daughter of the Blood.” (SF Site)

Amazing!
Sharian's performance was funny to me at first, but it grew on me, and now I'm a fan!
The story itself is amazing. this book is a bridge, as the second in a trilogy, but a good bridge nonetheless! This series is one of my "lullaby books" because of how Jaenelle and her family cope with everything that happened. It's a good reminder that healing is possible and our bodies do not deserve our hatred.

great story
I've loved this series but the narrator is not the best. Don't let the narrator stop you from enjoying this wonderful story.
