Edgy, erotic and dangerously exciting - the spellbinding new dark fantasy by the bestselling author of the 'Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter' series.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Meet Merry Gentry, a paranormal P.I., and enter a thrilling, sensual world as dangerous as it is beautiful, full of earthly pleasures and dazzling magic, and ruled by the all-consuming passions of immortal beings once worshipped as gods . . . or demons.

Merry Gentry, princess of the high court of Faerie, is posing as a human in Los Angeles, working as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime.

But now the queen’s assassin has been dispatched to her back – whether she likes it or not. Suddenly Merry finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt’s plans.

The task that awaits her: enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful immortal men in the world. The reward: the crown – and the opportunity to continue to live. The penalty for failure: death.

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.
