I wish there was an author or series I could compare or relate Emilie Vainqueur’s craft to, but I literally can’t. The creativity in these books are so original! Superb work!!”“A ten star must-read! Incredible world building, awesome characters, I’m freaking hooked! I was trying to find a series similar to Children of Blood and Bone or Divergent, and this hit the nail on the head, only better! This first book had me hooked from the beginning and never let me go until the end. By then I was falling over for the next book! Don’t even get me started on the Black Flame! He’s my new sexy, mysterious husband (Sorry, Amethyst).”"I was skeptical when I first picked up this book. It was a YA dystopian series (ick) but the summary was interesting, the reviews were raving, and the first book was dirt cheap. Only $1… This was the best dollar I ever spent. The world building was exceptional. The characters were vibrant, consistent, and true to themselves. The descriptions were beautifully woven throughout. It’s been years since a book has made me sit up on the edge of my seat. I’m astounded by the author’s ability to keep me nose deep inside of the book, itching to get on to the next. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece of a story and I look forward to the next epic book in The Jewel Series.”"You HAVE to read this! Wow! This book was the beginning to my new addiction. The writing is amazing. I quickly became immersed into this unique story. In fact, I became so invested in the characters that I just kept reading. And reading. And reading.

In Elizabeth’s gentle world, desire is an unspoken word. She’s lived an overprotected life with Grandfather, but overnight everything changes when he passes ... where once there was light, now there are mysterious, disturbing, shadows. Her life becomes complicated in the mundane aspects of day to day living, but even more impenetrable are the mysteries of the shifting shadows that lurk in the corners of rooms, pass in the mirrors, and haunt her half-awake dreams. She will no longer find comfort and peace in the rambling, old, Victorian house.

She must call upon internal resources of courage, fearlessness, and daring she didn’t know she had, to defend herself and all she has come to love. When she finds herself face-to-face with villainous depravity, her fortitude is put to its greatest test – will Elizabeth prevail?
