A shiver of light. Book 9 - Laurell K. Hamilton

You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of Faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, private investigator with Grey's Detective Agency in Los Angeles. In the Fey and mortal realms alike, my life is the stuff of royal intrigue and celebrity drama. Among my own kind, I have confronted horrendous enemies, endured my noble kin's treachery and malevolence, and honored my duty to conceive a royal heir . . . all for the right to claim the throne. But I have now turned my back on court and crown, and chosen exile in the human world - which is proving to be just as dangerous and, unless I keep my wits about me, quite possibly as deadly as the world of the Fey . . .
