"All it would take was my true name being mentioned after dark, and it
would float back to my aunt. She was the Queen of Air and Darkness, and
that meant that anything said in the dark was hers to hear, eventually.
The fact that spotting the missing Elven American Princess had become
more popular than spotting Elvis helped. Her magic was always chasing
blind leads. Princess Meredith skiing in Utah. Princess Meredith dancing
in Paris. Princess Meredith gambling in Vegas. After three years I was
still a front-page story for the tabloids, though the latest headlines
had been speculating that I was as dead as the King of Rock and Roll . .
." In fact, Meredith has been posing as a human in Los Angeles, living
as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime. But now
Doyle, the Queen's chief bodyguard and assassin, has been dispatched to
fetch her back - whether she likes it or not. And suddenly Meredith
finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt's plans . . . plans that affect
the future of the entire UnSeelie Court. The requirements of the job: to
enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful - and immortal - men in
the world. The reward: the crown - and the opportunity to continue to
live. The penalty: death.
