Description
My aunt, Queen Andais, will have it no other way. And so I am virtually a prisoner in faerie-trapped here with some of the realm's most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards . . . and my lovers. For I am compelled to conceive a child: an heir to succeed me on the throne. Yet after months of amazing sex with my consorts, there is still no baby. And no baby means no throne. The only certainty is death at the hands of my cousin Cel, or his followers, if I fail to conceive.
Now Mistral, Queen Andais's new captain of the guard, has come to my bed-defying her and risking her terrible wrath in doing so. But even she will hesitate to punish him in jealous rage, because our joining has reawakened old magic, mystical power so ancient that no one stands against it and survives. Not even my strongest and most favored: my Darkness and my Killing Frost. Not even Mistral himself, my Storm Lord. But because Mistral has helped to bring this magic forth, he may live another day.
If I can reclaim control of the fey power that once was, there may be hope for me and my reign in faerie. I might yet quell the dark schemes and subterfuges surrounding me. Though shadows of obsession and conspiracy gather, I may survive. "From the Hardcover edition."

View AllIf you haven't read this series and come across these books out of order. You probably could still read them although the first three books are kinda story builders. However The amount of recapping is ridiculous for people who have read the series up till now. So if you haven't read any merry books the recapping might work in your favor. It distracts from the story, while trying to build the story. If you liked fairy tales when you were younger this is a very adult and erotic fairytale of merry gentry the first princess born on american soil(so we are repeatedly told). Dont get me wrong but this series is really good but it is a little frustrating.
