Laurell K Hamilton: Mistral's Kiss, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Powerful new magic is awakened as Faerie princess Merry Gentry tries to conceive an heir - and in doing so, save her own life - in this sexy and suspenseful novel.

The time has come for Meredith Gentry to put aside her detective work and fulfil her ultimate obligation to the world of Faerie. Conceiving an heir to the throne of the Unseelie Court is crucial to restoring magic, and life itself, to the Fae kingdom. And though her quest may be rich with pleasures, the shadows of intrigue continue to suffuse the royal court . . . and sabotage and betrayal may lurk at any turn.

While the Unseelie Mound reawakens in the dead gardens, powerful enchantments are at work. Merry's uncle, the King of Light and Illusion, accuses her immortal guardsmen of heinous crimes. And her own command of magic has become dangerously unpredictable.

As plots and counterplots are hatched, and strategies and subterfuges are played out, the destiny of an entire world turns upon the fortunes of Merry Gentry: object of obsession, target of treachery, pawn of uncertain fate . . .
