I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne–if I can stay alive long enough
to claim it.
My cousin, Prince Cel, is determined to see that I don’t. As long as we both
live, we are in a race for the crown: Whichever one of us reproduces first
gets the throne. So now the men of my royal guard– frightening warriors
skilled with blade, spell, and gun–have become my lovers, auditioning with
pleasure for the role of future king and father of my child. And they must
still protect me from assassination attempts–for unlike most of the fey, I am
part human, and very mortal. All this royal back-stabbing makes it very
difficult for me to pursue my living as a private investigator in Los
Angeles, especially since the media made sure the whole world knows the
Faerie princess is alive and well in sunny California.
Now, in the City of Angels, people are dying in mysterious, frightening ways.
What the human police don’t realize is that the killer is hunting the fey as
well. Havoc lies on the horizon: the very existence of the place known as
Faerie is at grave risk. So now, while I enjoy the greatest pleasures of my
life with my guardians, I must fend off an ancient evil that could destroy
the very fabric of reality. And that’s just my day job. . . .
From the darkling throng to the glittering court, this is a world of magic
and delights, greed and grotesque ambitions. Laurell K. Hamilton has created
a mythos of extreme power and pure beauty that is a delight to behold.
