I am Princess Meredith NicEssus. Legal name Meredith Gentry because Princess looks so pretentious on a driver's license. I was the first faerie princess born on American soil but I wouldn't be the only one for much longer. . .
Merry Gentry ex-private detective now full-time princess knew she was descended from fertility goddesses but when she learned she was about to have triplets she began to understand what that might mean. Infertility has plagued the high ranks of faerie for centuries. Now nobles of the both courts of faerie are coming to woo Merry and her men at their home in exile in the Western Lands of Los Angeles because they will do anything to have offspring of their own.
Taranis King of Light and Illusion is a more dangerous problem. He tried to seduce Merry and failing that raped her. He's using the human courts to sue for visitation rights claiming that one of the children is his. And though Merry knows she was already pregnant when he took her she can't prove it.
To save herself and her babies from Taranis 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 contain the war to keep it from spreading to those innocent humans who are in very real danger of becoming collateral damage. . .
