What this book is about
A standalone set in the Black Jewels world before the trilogy. Jared is freed from a corrupt slave circle to escort the Gray Lady, a Warlord Queen, across territory that should be safe but isn't. The Invisible Ring is more adventure-focused than the trilogy, with a cleaner romance—it's often recommended as an entry point for readers who found Book 1 too dark.
