"Sizzling Debut"--Publishers Weekly
Long exiled from the moon, the men of the Monère serve--and mate--with imperious Queens, who can channel the rays of their far-off homeland. Gryphon believes that Mona Lisa is a Queen--perhaps the first of Mixed Blood ever known. But her introduction to the nighttime court of the Monère, simmering with intrigue, casual lust, and calculated cruelty, is far from smooth. The other Queens are infuriated by her potential powers, and they are all menaced by a group of rogue males who have broken away from the women's sway. Even as she battles threats from within and without, Mona Lisa is determined to discover who she is, and to explore the limits of her growing power--and her secret desires...
