A Stroke Of Midnight

Urban Fantasy (Merry Gentry 4)




Dark and dangerously exciting - the spicy, spellbinding fourth book in the thrillingly original, genre-defining Merry Gentry series from the original Queen of Romantasy . . .

Faced with a baffling double homicide, Merry Gentry must decide how much of the sinister side of Faerie she’ll have to embrace in order to sit on a throne that has ruled through bloodshed for centuries . . .

In Los Angeles, she is Merry Gentry, private investigator. In the faraway world of the Faerie she is Princess Meredith, heir to a dark throne. In this realm of peril and deception, adversaries watch her every move, while the enemies of her aunt, the queen, lie in wait – poised to usurp power.

For the first time in history, human police will enter Faerie – and Meredith will need all her allies when fate leads her into the arms of Mistral, Master of Storms, the queen’s new captain of the guard. Their passion will awaken powers long forgotten among the warriors of the court.

But as Meredith’s many enemies gather, both courts of Faerie begin to unravel . . .
