A Kiss of Shadows (Paperback)


My name is Meredith Gentry, but of course it's not my real name. I dare not even whisper my true name after dark for fear that one hushed word will travel over the night winds to the soft ear of my aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness. She wants me dead. I don't even know why...

I fled the high court of Faerie three years ago and have been in hiding ever since. As Merry Gentry, I am a private investigator for the Grey Detective Agency: Supernatural Problems, Magical Solutions. My magical skills, scorned at the courts of Faerie, are valued in the human world. Even by human standards, my magic isn't flashy, which is fine by me. Flashy attracts attention and I can't afford that.

Rumour has it that I am dead. Not quite. I am Princess Meredith NicEssus. To speak that name after dark is to call down a knock upon your door from a hand that can kill you with a touch. I have been careful, but not careful enough. The shadows have found me, and they are going to take me back home, one way or another.

So the running is over. But the fighting has just begun...

Rich, sensual, brimming with dangerous magic, A Kiss of Shadows is a dazzling tour-de-force where folklore, fantasy and erotically charged adventure collide.

Laurell K. Hamilton has created a new series about the Sidhe/ Fey (otherwise known as Fairies) turning the idea of harmless little pixies into sensual and breathtaking characters that bound of the page. Princess Meredith NicEssus Gentry a fey princess of mixed mortal blood, has been hiding in Los Angeles for three years, from her wicked Aunt Andais, the Queen of Air and Darkness. Knowing that because of her mortality she could not survive another duel as she was unwillingly drawn into a power struggle over the question of succession. After mishandling a case at the Detective Agency where she works, Merry is exposed and forced to return to the Unseelie court, accompanied by Andais's personal Darkness, Doyle. Upon arriving Merry discovers that times have changed at the court and the fey are growing weak, the Queen wants Merry to bed some of the most gorgeous Sidhe men in the world and Merry has to produce a child within three years in a race for the throne against her sadistic cousin, Cel. The loser will die... This is a must read and I urge everyone to give it a go!!!! I can't wait for the next books in this series.
