Les Joyaux noirs - La série

Il y a sept cents ans, une Veuve Noire a vu une prophétie prendre vie dans sa toile de songes. Désormais, le Sombre Royaume se prépare à l'arrivée de sa Reine, la sorcière qui détiendra un pouvoir plus grand que celui du Sire d'Enfer lui-même. Mais, celle-ci est encore jeune, influençable et vulnérable face à ceux qui voudraient la pervertir. Or, quiconque la tient sous sa coupe contrôle la Ténèbre. Trois hommes, des ennemis jurés, le savent. Et ils connaissent la puissance que recèlent les yeux bleus de cette enfant innocente. Ainsi commence un impitoyable jeu d'intrigues, de magie et de trahisons, dans lequel la haine et l'amour sont les armes... et dont le trophée est bien plus redoutable que tous l'imaginent.

Depuis des siècles, le Lignage attend la venue de Sorcière. Pourtant, la jeune Jaenelle désignée par la prophétie pour représenter l’incarnation vivante de la magie n’a pas été accueillie sereinement. Elle a au contraire terriblement souffert de la guerre sans merci dont elle fut l’enjeu durant son enfance. Seuls le temps et l’amour de ses tuteurs ont su guérir les blessures physiques de la jeune fille, mais son esprit reste fragile, à peine capable de la protéger de son passé. Toutefois, rien ne l’écartera de sa destinée, et l’heure du règlement de comptes approche. Quand ses souvenirs reviendront… quand sa magie arrivera à maturité… quand elle sera forcée d’accepter son sort… Ce jour-là, le Sombre Royaume comprendra ce qu’implique le règne de Sorcière.

Jaenelle Angelline est désormais reine : le Lignage corrompu ne pourra plus massacrer les siens et souiller ses terres. Malheureusement, nul n’est jamais à l’abri d’une intrusion… Sans aide, même Sorcière ne peut protéger son pays. Seul l’amour inconditionnel de Daimon pour Jaenelle pourrait renforcer la cour et asseoir le pouvoir de la Reine. Or ce dernier s’est perdu dans la folie du Royaume Perverti. Pourtant, même s’ils étaient réunis, leurs forces suffiraient-elles à repousser leurs ennemis ? Jaenelle en doute. Elle ne pourra sauver ceux qu’elle aime qu’au prix d’un immense et terrible sacrifice…

Jared est un esclave sexuel entravé par l'Anneau d'obéissance. Après neuf ans de souffrance, il a tué sa maîtresse et s'est échappé. Hélas, il a vite été rattrapé et revendu. Acheté par une reine notoirement dangereuse, Jared craint de partager le destin mystérieux de ses autres esclaves, qui ont disparu à jamais. Mais la Dame grise n'est peut-être pas celle qu'elle semble être et Jared se retrouve vite face à un cruel dilemme : la liberté ou l'honneur.

Return to the realm of the Blood in Dreams Made Flesh—featuring four revelatory all-new adventures of Jaenelle and her kindred…. Jaenelle is the most powerful Witch ever known, centuries of hopes and dreams made flesh at last. She has forged ties with three of the realm’s mightiest Blood warriors: Saetan, the High Lord of Hell, who trains Jaenelle in magic and adopts her as his daughter; Lucivar, the winged Eyrien warlord who becomes her protector; and the near-immortal Daemon born to be Witch’s lover. Jaenelle has assumed her rightful place as Queen of the Darkness and restored order and peace to the realms…but at a terrible cost. In Dreams Made Flesh, discover the origin of the mystical Jewels, and experience the forbidden passion between Lucivar and a simple hearth witch. Witness the clash between Saetan and a Priestess that may forever change reality. And learn whether the sacrifice of Jaenelle’s magic has destroyed any hope of happiness between her and Daemon.

The invitation was signed Jaenelle Angelline, she who had been both Witch and Queen. It summons her family to an entertainment she has specially prepared. Surreal SaDiablo, the former courtesan and assassin, is the first to arrive. But as she and her escort enter the house, the door disappears. Surreal finds herself trapped in a nightmare created by the tangled webs of Black Widow witches...a nightmare where the monsters are all too real, and if she uses Craft to defend herself, she risks being sealed in the house forever. But Jaenelle did not send the invitation. Now, Jaenelle and her family must rescue Surreal and the others inside without becoming trapped themselves—and they also must discover who created such an evil place, and why. Because there is one thing they all know about this house: no matter who planned it as a way to kill members of the SaDiablo family, only one of the Blood could have created the trap…

Dena Nehele is a land decimated by its past. Once it was ruled by corrupt Queens who were wiped out when the land was cleansed of tainted Blood. Now, only one hundred Warlord Princes stand—without a leader and without hope… Theran Grayhaven is the last of his line, desperate to find the key that reveals a treasure great enough to restore Dena Nehele. But first he needs to find a Queen who knows Protocol, remembers the Blood’s code of honor, and lives by the Old Ways. Languishing in the Shadow Realm, Lady Cassidy is a Queen without a court, a castoff. She is not beautiful. She thinks she is not strong. But when she is chosen to rule Dena Nehele, she must convince bitter men to serve once again. Theran’s cousin Gray is a Warlord Prince who was damaged in mind and body by the vicious Queens who once ruled Dena Nehele. Yet something about Cassidy makes him want to serve—and makes him believe he can be made whole once again. And only Cassidy can prove to Gray—and to herself—that wounds can heal and even the whisper of a promise can be fulfilled…

For years the Shalador people suffered the cruelties of the corrupt Queens who ruled them, forbidding their traditions, punishing those who dared show defiance, and forcing many more into hiding. And even though the refugees found sanctuary in Dena Nehele, they have never been able to call it home. Now that Dena Nehele has been cleansed of tainted Blood, the Rose-Jeweled Queen, Lady Cassidy, makes it her duty to restore the land and prove her ability to rule. She knows that undertaking this task will require all her heart and courage as she summons the untested power within her, a power capable of consuming her if she cannot control it. And even if Lady Cassidy survives her trial by fire, other dangers await. For the Black Widows see visions within their tangled webs that something is coming that will change the land—and Lady Cassidy—forever…

Power has a price. So does love. After a youthful mistake, Lord Dillon’s reputation is in tatters, leaving him vulnerable to aristo girls looking for a bit of fun. To restore his reputation and honor, he needs a handfast – a one-year contract of marriage. He sets his sights on Jillian, a young Eyrien witch from Ebon Rih, who he believes has only a flimsy connection to the noble society that spurned him. Unfortunately for Dillon, he is unaware of Jillian’s true connections until he finds himself facing Lucivar Yaslana, the volatile Warlord Prince of Ebon Rih. Meanwhile, Surreal SaDiablo’s marriage is crumbling. Daemon Sadi, the Warlord Prince of Dhemlan, recognizes there is something wrong between him and Surreal, but he doesn’t realize that his attempt to suppress his own nature in order to spare his wife is causing his mind to splinter. To save Daemon, and the Realm of Kaeleer if he breaks, help must be sought from someone who no longer exists in any of the Realms – the only Queen powerful enough to control Daemon Sadi. The Queen known as Witch. As Jillian rides the winds of first love with Dillon, Daemon and Surreal struggle to survive the wounds of a marriage turned stormy – and Lucivar has to find a way to keep everyone in his family safe... even from each other.
