Having abandoned the deadly politics of faerie for a quieter life in Los Angeles, Meredith Gentry faces a new darkness when murder proves that even the immortal are not beyond evil’s reach . . .
Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie, also known as LA private investigator Merry Gentry, has lived a life steeped in intrigue, betrayal and the duty to bear an heir in her quest for the throne. Ultimately, she turned her back on crown and court, instead choosing exile in the mortal world with her beloved guardians Frost and Darkness.
She may have rejected the monarchy but she will not abandon her people.
Because in LA, a series of brutal murders has targeted the fey: killings that mortals should not be capable of. Meredith and her guards throw themselves into the investigation just as suspicion falls on powerful figures like Gilda, the Fairy Godmother of Los Angeles, her rival for faerie allegiance in the city. And it seems that humans Merry once healed with magic have begun to perform miracles, sparking fear and accusations of forbidden sorcery.
Meredith had hoped to leave the bloodshed and politics of faerie behind her, but it seems evil has other ideas . . .
