Summary
POWER HAS A PRICE. SO DOES LOVE.
Return to the dark, sensual, and powerful world of the Black Jewels in this long-awaited new story in the New York Times best-selling fantasy saga.
After a youthful mistake, Lord Dillon's reputation is in tatters, leaving him vulnerable to aristo girls looking for a bit of fun. To restore his reputation and honor, he needs a handfast - a one-year contract of marriage. He sets his sights on Jillian, a young Eyrien witch from Ebon Rih, who he believes has only a flimsy connection to the noble society that spurned him. Unfortunately for Dillon, he is unaware of Jillian's true connections until he finds himself facing Lucivar Yaslana, the volatile Warlord Prince of Ebon Rih.
Meanwhile, Surreal SaDiablo's marriage is crumbling. Daemon Sadi, the Warlord Prince of Dhemlan, recognizes there is something wrong between him and Surreal, but he doesn't realize that his attempt to suppress his own nature in order to spare his wife is causing his mind to splinter. To save Daemon, and the Realm of Kaeleer if he breaks, help must be sought from someone who no longer exists in any of the Realms - the only Queen powerful enough to control Daemon Sadi. The Queen known as Witch.
As Jillian rides the winds of first love with Dillon, Daemon and Surreal struggle to survive the wounds of a marriage turned stormy - and Lucivar has to find a way to keep everyone in his family safe...even from each other.

Enjoyed revisiting this world
This is a book it makes no sense to listen to unless you are already familiar with the Black Jewels saga as it is a continuation a little while after the events in book 9 Twilight's Dawn
I love the primary characters in this series and I found it easy to drop back into the world of Daemon Lucivar Surreal and the others
The plot is interesting but frustrating in places -It interweaves two main strands
One revolving around Dillon and Jillian I loved, and it was great to see Jillian having a fairly prominent role as she matures.
The other one around Daemon and Surreal was a bit more frustrating as they have always been 2 of my favourite characters and you would think given their years of experience they would have behaved with a bit more maturity, Their story is the reason the story only gets 4 rather than 5 stars
Its a shame there is a narrator change - having listened to John Sharian for the previous 9 books in the series a narrator change is always annoying. Gary Littman doesnt do a bad job but its just not the same as John was perfect and impossible to follow. If thats a problem you may be better reading the book rather than listening but I found I could cope.
Looks like we need to wait another year to find out what happens next ....

The Queens Bargain
I enjoyed this book the narrator was ok but having listened to John Sherringham for the other books in the series several times some of the characters portrayed as they were grated on the ear, depends on what you are used to. I will listen again
