I am Meredith Gentry, P.I. and Princess Merry, heir to the throne of Fairie. Now there are those among me who whisper I am more. They fear me even as they protect me. And who can blame them? I’ve awakened the dazzling magic that’s slumbered in them for thousands of years. But the thing is, I can’t figure out why.
I am Meredith Gentry, P.I., solving cases in Los Angeles, far from the peril and deception of my real home–because I am also Princess Meredith, heir to the darkest throne faerie has to offer. The Unseelie Court infuses me with its power. But at what price does such magic come? How much of my human side will I have to give up, and how much of the sinister side of faerie will I have to embrace? To sit on a throne that has ruled through bloodshed and violence for centuries, I might have to become that which I dread the most.
Enemies watch my every move. My cousin Cel strives to have me killed even now from his prison cell. But not all the assassination attempts are his. Some Unseelie nobles have waited centuries for my aunt Andais, Queen of Air and Darkness, to become weak enough that she might be toppled from her throne. Enemies unforeseen move against us–enemies who would murder the least among us.
The threat will drive us to allow human police into faerie for the first time in our history. I need my allies now more than ever, especially since fate will lead me into the arm of Mistral, Master of Storms, the queen’s new captain of her guard. Our passion will reawaken powers long forgotten among the warriors of the sidhe. Pain and pleasure await me–and danger, as well, for some at that court seek only death.
I will find new joys with the butterfly-winged demi-fey. My guards and I will show all of faerie that violence and sex are as popular among the sidhe as they are among the lesser fey of our court. The Darkness will weep, and Frost will comfort him. The gentlest of my guards will find new strength and break my heart. Passions undreamed of await us–and my enemies gather, for the future of both courts of faerie begins to unravel. Views: 59

When two teenagers go missing on the same day on Mariner's patch, it
seems to be nothing more than a coincidence. Leaving aside their age and
disappearance, the two have little in common. Yasmin Akram is the
talented grammar school educated daughter of devout Muslim
professionals. Ricky Skeet disappears after storming out of his council
house after a row with his mother's latest boyfriend. Mariner knows
Ricky's mother from his days in uniform, so he is less than happy when
his superiors - bowing to media pressure - take him the Skeet case and
reassign him to the more politically sensitive investigation. The press -
and his bosses - seem convinced that Yasmin's disappearance is a
racially motivated abduction, especially since the Akram's have found
themselves the target of the far right and a prominent white supremacist
group. Working with Asian liaison officer Jamilla Begum on the more
high profile case, Mariner soon discovers that the picture of Yasmin her
school-friends paint is far different to her parents claim that she is a
total innocent Views: 59
