Description: Princess Meredith Gentry is a real-live Faerie princess, heir to a throne -- if she can stay alive long enough to claim it. Her cousin, Prince Cel, is determined to see that she doesn't. As long as they both live, they are in a race for the crown: Whichever one of them reproduces first gets the throne. So now the men of Merry's royal guard -- frightening warriors skilled with blade, spell, and gun -- have come her lovers, auditioning with pleasure for the role of the future king and father of her child. And they must still protect her from assassination attempts -- for unlike most of the fey, Merry is part human, and very mortal. All this royal backstabbing makes it very difficult for her to pursue her 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 she enjoys the greatest pleasures of her life with her guardians, Merry must fend off an ancient evil that could destroy the very fabric of reality. And thats just her 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.
