In this week's episode your hosts discuss Heir to the Shadows by Anne Bishop. It is the second in the Black Jewel trilogy and is much more light hearted than the previous book. Jaenelle has been in a healing coma for two years.  Saetan watches over Jaenelle always hopeful that the daughter of his soul will come back to him. No one knows when or if she will come out of it or what she will be like if she wakes up. Daemon may have freed himself from the ring of obedience but he is now lost in the twisted kingdom. He is haunted by the events of the previous book and Lucivar's accusations make it harder for him to hold on to what is real. What will Jaenelle be like when she wakes up? Will she take on her destiny as Witch? Is Daemon lost forever? *Trigger warnings for discussion of rape and animal death*.
