Jared is about to be sold to the salt mines of Pruul when he is purchased by the Gray Lady instead. She is feared; no one ever returns from her lands. Instead of the Ring of Obedience that Hayll witches usually use, she uses the Invisible Ring to control her warlord Blood males.
I'm in the process of a reread of this series (again) as I love it so much. This is a prequel to the first three books but can be read as a standalone book. It takes place in some territories that haven't been explored in those other books, a whole new world to explore. There are some great twists, and Ms. Bishop's usual fine writing is evident. Lia and Jared are a great pairing as well as Thera and Blaed. The other characters supplement the story in fine style. I'm always happy when Daemon shows up (even if some Queens don't feel the same). Another great book in this series.
