I
am Princess Meredith NicEssus. Legal name Meredith Gentry, because
“Princess” looks so pretentious on a driver’s license. I was the first
faerie princess born on American soil, but I wouldn’t be the only one
for much longer...
Merry Gentry, ex–private
detective, now full-time princess, knew she was descended from fertility
goddesses, but when she learned she was about to have triplets, she
began to understand what that might mean. Infertility has plagued the
high ranks of faerie for centuries. Now nobles of both courts of faerie
are coming to court Merry and her men, at their home in exile in the
Western Lands of Los Angeles, because they will do anything to have
babies of their own.
Taranis, King of Light and
Illusion, is a more dangerous problem. He tried to seduce Merry and,
failing that, raped her. He’s using the human courts to sue for
visitation rights, claiming that one of the babies is his. And though
Merry knows she was already pregnant when he took her, she can’t prove
it.
To save herself and her babies
from Taranis she will use the most dangerous powers in all of faerie: a
god of death, a warrior known as the Darkness, the Killing Frost, and a
king of nightmares. They are her lovers, and her dearest loves, and they
will face down the might of the high courts of faerie—while trying to
keep the war from spreading to innocent humans in Los Angeles, who are
in danger of becoming collateral damage.
