Heir to the Shadows by Anne Bishop

 

Her body is healed but amnesia still grips her mind as we enter into the second book of the Black Jewels Trilogy. The blood has waited a long time for the dreams made flesh, Witch, the living embodiment of magic.

But Jaenelle, the girl that prophecy has chosen, is being tormented by the cruel battles being fought over her because not all the blood wish for her to be their savior. Others would rather use her to gain more power themselves.

Many believe her to just be a myth, a child's story they were told growing up, but just that, a story. Only her 3 guardians are there to protect her. To give her time to heal as she battles over her horrifying memories of childhood.

Nothing can change her destiny, however, the day when her memories return and her magic are at its full power. When she is finally forced to accept her fate as Witch the dark realms will know what it means to be ruled by Witch.

First of all, I highly recommend reading these books in order, starting with the Daughter of the Blood or you will be completely lost. The second book starts exactly where the first leaves off. Jaenelle is seriously injured at the end of the last book, body, mind, and soul. So her guardians take her someplace safe to heal. It takes years for her physical wounds to heal and for her to finally make her way up and out of her slumber. Her body has grown but her mind is playing catch up with the rest of her. You NEED to read this book to find out what becomes of her, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ across the board for this series, you will love it!
