Jaenelle now possesses.…
Praise for The Black Jewels Trilogy
"A terrific writer… the more I read, the more excited I became because of the
freshness of [her] take on the usual high fantasy setting, the assurance of [her]
language, all the lovely touches of characterization that [she slips] in so
effortlessly." …Charles de Lint
"Rich and fascinatingly different dark fantasy, a series definitely worth checking
out." …Locus
"A darkly fascinating world…Vivid and sympathetic characters, a fascinating and
fully-realized magical system, lavish and sensuous descriptions, and interesting
world building.… Many compelling and beautifully realized elements. A terrific

read." …SF Site
"Lavishly sensual… a richly detailed world." …Library Journal
"Vividly painted… dramatic, erotic, hope-filled." …Lynn Flewelling
"Intense… erotic, violent, and imaginative. This one is white-hot."
…Nancy Kress
"Mystical, sensual, glittering with dark magic."
…Terri Windling, coeditor of Year's Best Fantasy and Horror
"Dark, intricate, and disturbing."
…Josepha Sherman, author of Forging the Runes
"A high voltage ride through a new realm. Bishop draws her characters with acute
emotion [and] leaves the reader lusting for her next novel." …Lois H. Gresh,
coauthor of The Termination Node
"[Anne Bishop's] poignant storytelling skills are surpassed only by her flair for
the dramatic and her deft characterization… a talented author."
…Affaire de Coeur
"Daemon, Lucivar, and Saetan ooze more sex appeal than any three fictional
characters created in a very long time… a fascinating world consisting of three
realms peopled with interesting and nearly always dangerous characters."
…The Romance Reader
"When I first read Daughter of the Blood by Anne Bishop, I was blown away by
the vividness of her writing. Dark, morbid, sinister, and yet it holds you
completely fascinated and spellbound by its beauty. Once I'd begun reading… I
couldn't bring myself to put down the book and leave the world that Anne Bishop
had magically spun around me… Rich in both positive and negative emotions and
intense in its portrayal of human behavior and human desires. At the same time, it
also has many humorous moments…. One of the most original and readable
books in the fantasy genre." …The 11th Hour
"Has immense appeal for fans of dark fantasy or horror. Most highly
recommended." …Hypatia's Hoard
Praise for The Invisible Ring

Bishop, Anne - DREAMS MADE FLESH
"Plenty of adventure." …Locus
"[An] entertaining otherworlds fantasy adventure with battles and dangers and
chases." …Chronicle
"Plenty of adventure, romance, dazzling wizardly pyrotechnics and internal
workings of Bishop's unique and fascinating hierarchical magic system. The plot
strands' convergence is skillfully handled, building tension and suspense right up
to the end… Bishop's world is rich in strongly dark elements balanced by a firm
belief in ideals like loyalty and love.
Bishop is also superb at depicting the essence of her characters through dialogue,
which can often be quite witty or emotionally heartwarming or chilling at just the
right moments. Then there's the author's overall sublime skill as a writer, blending
the darkly macabre with spine-tingling emotional intensity, mesmerizing magic,
lush sensuality, and exciting action, all set in a thoroughly detailed invented world
of cultures in conflict, based on ingeniously reversed genre cliches. The Invisible
Ring will serve as an enticement, whetting the appetite to explore more of the
realms in the Black Jewels trilogy." …SF Site
"Anne Bishop has an awesome knack for characterization, used to great effect in
this novel. It's a bittersweet story, and you'll love every word of it. Readers of
fantasy and romance will love this book, and of course it's a must-have for Bishop
fans. Most highly recommended."
