Meredith 'Merry' Gentry is my moniker, although that's obviously not my true name. I dare not even say my actual name after dark, should one quiet syllable find its way to my aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, across the night winds. She desires my death. I'm not even sure why.
Three years ago, I ran away from the Faerie high court and have been hiding ever since. I work as a private detective for Grey Detective Agency: Supernatural Problems, Magical Solutions under the name Merry Gentry. Though disregarded in the Faerie courts, my magical abilities have value in the human realm. My magic isn't very showy, even by human standards, but that's okay with me. I can't afford to draw attention with anything flashy.
There are rumors about me deceased. Not exactly. Princess Meredith NicEssus is who I am. Speaking that name after dark is like inviting someone who can murder you with a single touch to knock on your door. I have taken some precautions, but not enough. One way or another, the shadows will return me home; they have located me.
The running is so done. However, the battle has only just started.
Rich, sensuous, and full of perilous enchantment, A Kiss of Shadows is a stunning tour-de-force that combines fantasy, eroticism, and thrilling adventure.
