Overview

Merry Gentry, ex-private detective and full-time princess, is now the mother of triplets, a rarity in the high ranks of faerie. And not everyone is happy about it, including Taranis, King of Light and Illusion. He's using the human courts to sue for visitation rights, claiming that one of the babies is his. To save herself and her children, Merry will use the most dangerous powers in all of faerie: a god of death, a warrior known as the Darkness, the Killing Frost, and a king of nightmares. They are her lovers, and her dearest loves, and they will face down the might of the high courts of faerie-while trying to keep the war from spreading to innocent humans in Los Angeles, who are in danger of becoming collateral damage.

Editorial Reviews

SEPTEMBER 2014 - AudioFile

Merry Gentry, detective turned fairy princess, adjusts to her new powers in Hamilton’s series. Charlotte Hill shows narrative authority as she directs complex conversations between Merry and her six lovers, who together fathered her three magical sets of triplets. This novel, composed mainly of discussion, presents unique audio challenges even as Hill’s voicings provide clarity and drama. Extensive, repetitive dialogue makes it difficult for her to establish the book’s narrative drive. She convincingly expresses Merry’s affection for her partners, but listeners will wonder if it could be dramatized more succinctly. In the last chapters, a tragedy allows Hill to speed up the pace, but it’s too little too late. C.A. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
