I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne of faerie. Once upon a time I had a day job. I was a private detective, but being a princess seems to have become a full-time occupation...My aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, will have it no other way. I am virtually a prisoner here, incarcerated with some of our world's most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards...and my lovers. For I have a duty to perform: I must produce an heir. They say practice makes perfect; well, that may be. The pleasures have been many but there is still no sign of a child, and no heir means no throne. But that's the least of it. If I fail, my life is forfeit - death awaits at the vengeful hands of my cousin Cel and his followers. Now Mistral, captain of the queen's guard, has come to my bed. In doing so, he defies her and risks her terrible wrath. But our joining together has a mystical power so ancient that none can stand against it and survive - not even my Storm Lord, Mistral himself. And yet because he helped bring forth this magic forth, he may live another day? If I can reclaim control of the fey power that once was, there is hope. I might still defeat those who would see me fall. I might yet survive...Between the darkest faerie magic and the deepest desires of the flesh lies the twilight world of Meredith Gentry - princess, private eye and powerful player in a deadly game of supernatural and sexual intrigue. And this is her most eerie and erotic adventure yet.

As is with some of Laurrell K. Hamilton's books, some are plot-thickeners and some are merely the jumps in between those big moments. This book was one of those small jumps, but used effectively to highlight the importance of Mistral in the grand scheme of things. A very well written book, I am really enjoying this series, but I hope it doesn't go in the way of the Anita Blake series. (Way too much sex not enough story).
The fifth book in Laurell k. Hamilton’s ‘Merry Gentry’ series. While this book was written as well as the previous books I found it slightly disappointing, in that it did not seem to have much story line. It seemed like a bit of a filler to (hopefully) link the previous book to the next. As always the sex scenes were very descriptive an enjoyable, if only we all had the stamina of these characters!
