"Having abandoned the deadly politics of faerie for a quieter life in Los Angeles, Meredith Gentry must confront a new darkness when a series of brutal murders prove that even the immortal are not beyond evil's reach-in this propulsive Merry Gentry novel.
Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie, also known as Merry Gentry, a Los Angeles private investigator, has lived a life steeped in royal intrigue, betrayal, and the duty to bear an heir in her quest for the throne. Ultimately, she turned her back on crown and court, choosing exile in the mortal world with her beloved Frost and Darkness.
But though she rejected the monarchy, she will not abandon her people. When a series of brutal murders targets the fey in Los Angeles-killings that mortals should not be capable of-Meredith and her guards are drawn into the investigation, even as suspicion falls on powerful figures like Gilda, the Fairy Godmother of Los Angeles, her rival for faerie allegiance in the city.
As if that weren't enough, humans she once healed with magic begin performing miracles of their own, sparking fear and accusations of forbidden sorcery. Meredith hoped to leave behind the bloodshed and politics of faerie, but she soon learns that evil crosses all boundaries-and that even the immortal are not beyond its reach."
"Caught between rival faerie courts and deadly ambition, Meredith Gentry must navigate a web of seduction, danger, and ancient power to survive long enough to claim the throne-in this thrilling Merry Gentry novel.
Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the faerie throne and a former private investigator in the mortal world, must bear a child to secure her crown, or her ruthless aunt, Queen Andais, will place her sadistic son, Cel, on the throne-and have Meredith killed.
Surrounded by her devoted royal guards and lovers-her Darkness and her Killing Frost-Meredith is protected but not safe. Despite her efforts to conceive, she remains childless, while the queen's deadly schemes intensify. Seeking refuge from court intrigue, Meredith and her guards retreat to Los Angeles, but distance offers little protection from enemies determined to destroy her.
A new threat arises when King Taranis, the delusional ruler of the Seelie Court, falsely accuses her guards of a heinous crime and pushes mortal authorities to prosecute them. If convicted, they face extradition to faerie and brutal punishment. Meredith knows the charges are a lie-and suspects that Taranis's true target is her. Having tried to kill her once already, his ambitions now seem somehow even more dangerous."
"Pregnant with the heirs to the Unseelie throne, Meredith Gentry must confront the treachery of kings, courts, and ancient magic to protect her children or die trying-in this pulse-racing installment of the Merry Gentry series.
Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie and wielder of the Hands of Flesh and Blood, is finally with child-twins fathered by her royal guard-bringing her closer to claiming her aunt's throne and ruling the Unseelie Court.
But her uncle, Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, who abducted and assaulted her, now falsely claims to be the father of her unborn children, branding her guards a danger to the heirs she carries.
As conspiracies rise from every court in faerie, enemies seek to strip away her lovers and protectors through treachery or violence. Though she finds unexpected allies among the goblins and the sluagh, the nightmares of faerie. Meredith must fight to survive long enough to see her children born and secure her crown. To protect what is hers, she is prepared to sacrifice anything, everything-even if it means waging war against her darkest foes and making the most fateful choice of her life."
