The suspenseful and sexy saga of Meredith Gentry continues. Her aunt, the dark Queen Andais, has commanded Merry, who is half-mortal, half-faerie princess, to attempt to conceive a child, an heir to succeed her on the throne. One by one, consorts have come to her bed to help her save her claim - and her life.
Now Merry has left the faeries society to return to Los Angeles, accompanied by her bodyguards, where she will continue in her efforts to conceive an heir. But Merry and her lovers will be caught between the dark and light courts of faerie and human law. And all facets of her life will inevitably bring her face to face with a fate worse than death.
"Hamilton depicts Meredith's erotic adventures in her usual breathless, overheated style, but also reveals a deeper glimpse into Meredith's introspective side" - Publishers Weekly.
