The Black Jewels Books in Order

Three young women tied to the SaDiablo family each face a different test of what it means to be a Queen. Wounded Zoey befriends a dangerous stranger, Jillian must confess a life changing secret, and Saetien journeys to learn about Jaenelle's sister under Witch's unflinching guidance.

Raised to be the Queen's weapons, Daemonar Yaslana and his cousins think they understand duty until an ambitious young Queen wounds Daemonar's sister. As old evils stir, Daemonar, his father, and his uncle must uncover a familiar taint before it destroys their family from within.

Lord Dillon hopes a one year handfast with young Jillian will repair his reputation, not realizing she is fiercely protected by Lucivar and the SaDiablos. At the same time, Daemon and Surreal's marriage is cracking, threatening both their court and the stability of Kaeleer.

Four linked novellas revisit the Blood after the earlier books. Holiday chaos, old betrayals, a murderous plot against a Queen, and Daemon's struggle to live with unbearable loss all push the SaDiablo family toward unexpected and sometimes controversial turning points.

After accepting Dena Nehele's broken territory, Cassidy faces the harder task of holding it. As Shalador refugees, court politics, and Black Widow visions collide, she must summon untested strength to protect both her people and the land that has finally claimed her.

In a land ravaged by generations of vicious Queens, Theran Grayhaven searches for a ruler who still remembers honor and the Old Ways. He finds Cassidy, a plain, uncertain Queen without a court, who must convince bitter Warlord Princes that she can help heal Dena Nehele.

An invitation bearing Jaenelle's name lures Surreal SaDiablo and others into what should be a playful haunted house, only for the doors to vanish behind them. Trapped in a lethal web of illusion and Craft, they must survive long enough for the SaDiablo family to unravel the trap.

This collection returns to the Realms of the Blood with four novellas that fill in key moments around the original trilogy. You see the birth of the Jewels, Lucivar's courtship, Saetan's terrible bargain, and how Daemon and Jaenelle begin rebuilding a life together.

Jared, a Red Jeweled Warlord bound as a pleasure slave, murders his owner and is promptly sold again to the notorious Gray Lady. On a perilous journey through Dena Nehele, he must choose between seizing his freedom and defending the Queen he serves.

Now ruling as Queen of Ebon Askavi, Jaenelle prepares for a final, devastating confrontation with the Blood who have destroyed her people and lands. To hold the line, she must call on Daemon and her court to pay an almost unthinkable price.

Broken by what was done to her, Jaenelle retreats to the Shadow Realm to heal under Saetan's protection and gather a court of young Queens. As her power matures, she must decide how to confront the corruption spreading through Terreille.

Seven hundred years of prophecy lead to Jaenelle Angelline, a strange, abused child destined to be Witch, the most powerful Queen alive. Three dangerous men vie to guide or control her, in a world where dark magic and cruelty are routine.
