The Black Jewels Trilogy Anne Bishop

[samvara]

Daughter of the Blood
Heir to the Shadows
Queen of the Darkness

Impulse buy - there was a perfect trilogy all sitting there squeaking "Buy me, buy me!". So I did.

A prophetess foretells the coming of a Queen who will rule a powerful and corrupted race of magic users. The Blood have forsaken their ancient responsibilities and their unbalanced society thrives on sadism and cruelty. The living embodiment of magic, a seven year old girl could be the answer some are desperately yearning for, but who will influence her as she matures.. and who will dare stand by her side.

Dark. Very dark. Middling as fantasy goes but with a wonderfully witty touch that kept me happily in there until I ran out of pages.
