Dark and dangerously exciting - the spicy, spellbinding sequel to the bestselling A Kiss of Shadows and the second book in the thrillingly original Merry Gentry series from the original Queen of Romantasy . . .

‘I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne – if I can stay alive long enough to claim it . . .’

Having eluded relentless assassination attempts by Prince Cel, her cousin and deadly rival for the Faerie crown, Merry Gentry is faced with a whole new set of problems. To become Queen of the Unseelie Court, she must bear a child before the loathsome Cel can father one of his own. But chaos lies on the horizon: in the human world, people are dying in mysterious, frightening ways, and suddenly the very survival of the Faerie is at grave risk.

While she enjoys the greatest pleasures of her life attempting to conceive a baby with the warriors of her royal guard, Merry must confront an ancient evil that could destroy the very fabric of reality . . .

About the author

Laurell K. Hamilton

Laurell K. Hamilton is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series and the Merry Gentry series. She has also written A Terrible Fall of Angels, the first book in an exciting series featuring Detective Zaniel Havelock in a world where angels and demons walk among us.
 
With more than forty novels published, Laurell continues to create groundbreaking fiction inspired by her lifelong love of monster movies, ghost stories, mythology, folklore, and things that go bump in the night. Her love of the macabre, books in general, animals, and nature led her to degrees in English and biology. She is a nonpracticing biologist but uses her science background to add an extra level of realism to her fiction.
 
She currently lives in St. Louis with her family, two spoiled Japanese chins, a house panther, and a house lion. In her free time, Laurell trains in Filipino martial arts with a specialization in bladework, and travels to scuba dive and bird-watch as often as she can.
