Merry Gentry, princess of the high court of Faerie, is posing as a human in Los Angeles where she works as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime.
But now her loathed aunt - the Queen of Air and Darkness - has sent an assassin to bring Merry back to court – whether she likes it or not. For Merry is to be a pawn in the Queen's ruthless plans for the succession.
The task that awaits her doesn't seem so onerous: to enjoy the company of the faerie world's most beautiful immortal men. Her reward is the crown – and to stay alive.
The penalty for failure: death . . .
Dark, sensual and dangerous, A Kiss of Shadows is an unbridled tour-de-force - the exciting, erotically-charged first chapter in Merry Gentry's thrilling, shiver-inducing story.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Erotica is fantasy, but it rarely gets as fantastic as this. After nine novels featuring Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter (Obsidian Butterfly, etc.), Hamilton launches a sizzling new series that blends supernatural fantasy with detective adventure and hot sex. Here, the world is populated with various magical faerie races along with humans. The most supreme of the fey are the immortal sidhe, so beautiful and powerful they were once worshiped as gods. The fey are not only lusty but incredibly accomplished lovers; those of the royal sidhe bloodline are literally addictively sexy. Full-blooded fey are, for the most part, intolerant of cities, metal and technology. They seldom live for long among humans. Mixed-blood Princess Meredith NicEssus, however, has fled the faerie world to pass for three years as Merry Gentry, a human with some fey blood who works in Los Angeles with a detective agency that specializes in supernatural problems and magical solutions. Suddenly outed as the missing princess and fearing that her aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, will kill her, she makes a desperate run aided by her detective pals. The queen does want her, but not in the way Merry expects. Ultimately, Meredith must fulfill the queen's designs for the future of her court, even if it means having to bed the most beautiful studs in the universe. Through constant danger and adventure, Meredith finds herself in a variety of sexual encounters that make it easy to see why her ancestors were so worthy of worship. As wild as the novel's premise is, memorable characters and wicked wit make it all delicious, ribald fun. 8-city author tour.
