Product Description:
I am Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the throne in the realm of faerie, onetime private investigator in the mortal world. To be crowned queen, I must first continue the royal bloodline and give birth to an heir of my own. If I fail, my aunt, Queen Andais, will be free to do what she most desires: install her twisted son, Cel, as monarch . . . and kill me.
My royal guards surround me, and my best loved–my Darkness and my Killing Frost–are always beside me, sworn to protect and make love to me. But still the threat grows greater. For despite all my carnal efforts, I remain childless, while the machinations of my sinister, sadistic Queen and her confederates remain tireless. So my bodyguards and I have slipped back into Los Angeles, hoping to outrun the gathering shadows of court intrigue. But even exile isn’t enough to escape the grasp of those with dark designs.
Now King Taranis, powerful and vainglorious ruler of faerie’s Seelie Court, has leveled accusations against my noble guards of a heinous crime–and has gone so far as to ask the mortal authorities to prosecute. If he succeeds, my men face extradition to faerie and the hideous penalties that await them there. But I know that Taranis’s charges are baseless, and I sense that his true target is me. He tried to kill me when I was a child. Now I fear his intentions are far more terrifying.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - LKH getting back on her game?
Well not quite - this book still has some of the flaws the last LKH books have had. Too much sex and long-winded conversations. Still the plot actually moves along in this book which hasn't happened the the MG or AB books in quite a while. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for down and dirty sex, but enough is enough. Lets hope she keeps moving back towards real substance in her writing because I miss original LKH style.
Rating:  - Better than some of LKH's previous books, but not fantastic
After attempting several times to read the abysmal Mistral's Kiss, I finally decided to skip it entirely & move onto the next book. After getting 30-50 pages into the book, I realized that I hadn't missed a single thing. (Which says loads about LKH's writing & pacing abilities!)
This story (like previous ones) has the action take place within one day. Merry's men have been accused of rape, so they go to meet with Taranis's lawyers (one of his people was the one who was raped) ... Read More
Rating:  - I love this series!
I can't get enough of Merry Gentry's world. Love it. Better than the Anita Blake series. Love the play on Celtic lore, the love story, the push for non christian perspectives. Absolutely adore Dole. Laurell finally got a powerful man right, no breaking this one down into fluff like she did with her vampire hero in the Blake series. Great read.
Rating: - She's done it again!
Just when I think I have figured things out she throws me a curve ball. I love it! =) This book was all that and a big bag of chips. Without giving away anything I was really happy and very sad at how things turned out for Merry. I cant wait to read Darkness, but I really hope we are done losing essential guards, especially Darkness. I think I would actually morn his loss. =)
Thanks Laurell! Your books are never a disappointment! :-D
Rating: - Better than the last one
I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for Meredith to get pregnant already and for there to be some forward movement of plot in these books. Also, I was getting tired of the strung together scenes of sex...new magic...more sex...some more new magic.
This book really toned down on the sex, thank goodness. And, to be fair, the plot did inch forward infinitesimally. But this book was quite boring. It was a bunch of mirror conversations. First Merry talks to Taranis is the mirror for ... Read More
