Merry Gentry, ex-private detective, now full-time princess, knew she was descended from fertility goddesses. But when she learns she is about to have triplets, nobles of both courts of faerie come to court Merry, 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. To save herself and her babies from Taranis, Merry will use the most dangerous power in all of faerie: a god of death, a warrior known as the Darkness, the Killing Frost, and a king of nightmares.

Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, claims, “Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.” The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called A Kiss of Shadows, the eight book in the Meredith Gentry series, “sexy…Merry’s adventures are engaging and keep the reader turning the pages.”

Laurell K. Hamilton is the New York Times bestselling author of the Meredith Gentry novels, as well as fifteen acclaimed Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novels. She is a full-time writer; she lives in a suburb of St. Louis with her family.
