Meredith Gentry carries triplets and knows the terrible truth. She was already pregnant when Taranis, the King of Light and Illusion, forced himself on her. Now he claims one child as his own and uses human courts to demand visitation rights. Meredith cannot prove her pregnancy preceded his assault. The first faerie princess born in America, she lives in exile in Los Angeles with her lovers who are gods and warriors. Nobles from both faerie courts flock to her because infertility has cursed their kind for centuries. They desperately want children of their own. Meredith must call upon her most dangerous allies to protect her babies. The Darkness, the Killing Frost, and a king of nightmares stand ready to battle the high courts of faerie. War threatens to spill into the mortal world, putting innocent humans at risk. Meredith fights not just for custody but for the safety of everyone she loves.
