Anne Bishop

Anne Bishop is the romantic fantasy writer who created the worlds of the Black Jewels and the Tir Alainn. Her work often focuses on feminist themes, and her fantasy environments are highly original and often fragmented places.

Reading Anne Bishop's work is like drinking lashings of tequila whilst taking a long, hot bath: a guilty, yet delicious pleasure.

Anne Bishop's major characters

Daemon

Appearing first in the Black Jewels trilogy, Daemon simply smoulders. He is a prince with strong magic of his own, but in a world controlled by female witches he is often powerless to help those he cares about. He has a cruel streak when crossed, but is fiercely protective and loyal to loved ones.

Lucivar

A half-breed, and brother to Daemon. Like his brother, he has strong magic and has lived for centuries.

Jaenelle

Jaenelle is a human, and although she may one day grow to wield great powers, she is also incredibly vulnerable. Jaenelle is a central character in the Black Jewels trilogy.
