The great War has been fought and won. Jaenelle is Witch
and Queen. And sometimes...just Jaenelle. Lover and wife to
Daemon Sadi and beloved member of the SaDiablo family,
Jaenelle has a playful sense of humor. When she informs the
family that she's creating a "Spooky House" for the
amusement of the Landen (non-Blood) villagers, as well as
her family and friends, the family holds its collective
breath to keep from groaning in unison. Besides respecting
her as Queen, they are all crazy in love with this woman.
As the house nears completion, invitations arrive via
messenger to close family members. Former assassin and
courtesan, Surreal SaDiablo, receives an invitation and
with a Warlord Prince as escort, arrives at the house ready
to be both entertained and horrified. Surreal and Rainier
enter the house with a small company of village children
only to find themselves trapped in a nightmare world of
tangled webs and deadly illusion. The house is a trap
created not by Jaenelle, but by a madman who's using the
house both as a means of revenge against the SaDiablo
Family and as research for a mystery novel he's planning.
Jaenelle, Daemon and Lucivar race to rescue Surreal and her
companions from the horrors of the house that features the
webs of three powerful Black Widow Witches, two of whom
currently inhabit the house as the Demon Dead. As Jaenelle
and Daemon struggle to untangle the webs, Lucivar favors a
more direct approach and enters the house himself fully
shielded and ready to take apart both the house and the
lunatic who designed it. In a world where cruelty has been
a way of life for generations, "the author" is about to
find out what it means to challenge the most powerful
family in the Realms.
TANGLED WEBS is a triumphant and powerful return to the
Realms of the Blood. The family is gathered, challenged and
rises to the challenge with all the power they can muster.
Only a crazy person would mess with the SaDiablos. And as
if this new novel wasn't gift enough, as a bonus, there's a
short story featuring Surreal from her assassin days.
The invitation is signed "Jaenelle Angelline," and it summons her family to an entertainment she had specially prepared. Surreal SaDiablo, former courtesan and assassin, arrives first. But when she enters the house, Surreal finds herself trapped in a living nightmare created by the tangled webs of Black Widow witches...and if she uses Craft to defend herself, she risks being sealed in the house forever.
But Jaenelle did not send the invitation. And now Jaenelle and her family must rescue Surreal and the others inside without becoming trapped themselves-and then discover who has created such a place, and why...
