Publisher Description
I am Meredith, princess of faerie, wielder of the hands of Flesh and Blood, and at long last, I am with child–twins, fathered by my royal guard. Though my uncle, Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, claims that he is the true father since he abducted me from my home, betrayed, and defiled me. And now he has branded my guards as a threat to my unborn children. Bearing an heir has placed me halfway to my aunt’s throne, that much closer to my reign over the Unseelie Court–and well ahead of her son, my cousin Cel, in this race. Now I must stay alive to see my children born and claim my place as queen. But not all in faerie are pleased with the news, and conspirators from every court in the realm plot against me and mine. They seek to strip my guards, my lovers, from me by poisoned word or cold steel. But I still have supporters, and even friends, among the goblins and the sluagh, who will stand by me. I am Meredith Nic Essus, and those who would defy and destroy me are destined to pay a terrible price–for I am truly my father’s daughter. To protect what is mine, I will sacrifice anything–even if it means waging a great battle against my darkest enemies and making the most momentous decision ever made as princess of faerie.

"Finally Merry learn that you can't always get what you want with kindness. There is a line, you can be to nice and appear weak. She had one busy day in this book, they didn't give her a moments rest. Everyone was trying to kill her and her guard/lovers."

" Most of the book I loved, but the ending left me feeling like LKH had gotten bored and decided to just give a nice, clean ending. The ending was too sudden and left you thinking "HUH? That's it!?!?" I was very dissappointed and felt very cheated. "
— Tiani, 7/21/2011 -

" I loved it. I know some lines become tedious, but I wanted to know what was going to happen so badly that I overlooked it. I loved how this one ended, though at times I wanted to scream or cry! It worked out pretty well though. "
— Laura, 3/1/2011 -
" The story is starting to wander off the deep end ala Anita Blake. Instead of having a curve, this book tries to maintain emergency for the whole length of it, which is a little frustrating. Seems like the story could've been wrapped up here, but instead is being dragged on a bit. "
— Rachael, 2/7/2011 -
" The last two chapters were the BEST!!! now i'm very happy! "
— Megan, 1/27/2011 -
" This was probably my fav of the Merry Gentry Series, but then I do love a little romance and this one had it. Go Doyle. "
— PM, 1/22/2011 -
" This is what I'd imagine a well written romance novel should be. Although, it was lacking in some essential "romance" if you know what I mean. "
— Laura, 1/18/2011 -
" I really like this book from the series. This is probably my favorite. A little sad as to the ending but we will see what happens in the next one! "
