Book description
Some know her as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie. Others as
Merry Gentry, LA private eye. In the fey and mortal realms alike, her
life is the stuff of royal intrigue and celebrity drama.
Among her own kind, she has confronted enemies, endured the
treachery and malevolence of her kith and kin, and honoured her duty
to conceive a royal heir...all so she could claim a throne. But now
she's turned her back on court and crown in favour of exile in the
human world.
However, while she may have rejected the throne, she cannot abandon
her people. Someone is killing the fey. The LAPD are baffled and Merry
is worried: her kind are not easily captured or killed. At least not
by mortals. And it's not just these murders that concern her. It
appears mortals who she once healed with magic are now able to perform
miracles themselves - a phenomenon that's wreaking havoc on relations
between man and fey and provoking suspicions of forbidden powers.
So much for leaving blood and politics behind her. Merry had dreamed
of a quiet life, but evil knows no borders and it seems nobody lives
forever - not even the immortal...
