Synopsis

"Hamilton’s books are must-reads."—The Denver Post

Powerful new magic is awakened as faerie princess Merry Gentry tries to conceive an heir—and in doing so, save her own life—in this sexy and suspenseful novel.

The time has come for Meredith Gentry to put aside her Los Angeles detective work and fulfill her ultimate obligation to the world of Faerie—where her efforts to conceive an heir to the throne of the Unseelie Court are crucial to restoring magic, and life itself, to the fae kingdom. And though her quest may be rife with pleasures, the shadows of intrigue continue to suffuse the royal court . . . and sabotage may lurk at any turn.

While the Unseelie Mound reawakens in the dead gardens, powerful curses are at work. Merry's uncle, the King of Light and Illusion, schemes to accuse her immortal guardsmen of heinous crimes. And Merry's own command of magic has turned wildly and dangerously unpredictable. As plots and counterplots are hatched, and strategies and subterfuges are played out, the destiny of an entire world turns upon the fortunes of Merry Gentry; object of obsession, target of treachery, pawn of uncertain fate.

Goodreads review by Elyzia on December 26, 2010

Ok before I review the book I need to say something.... I am so tired of hearing all the negative reviews about this series and the Anita Blake series. The negative reviews say that there is too much sex, not enough plot, the book took place in only a day, not enough action.... Well, if you hate it s......more

Goodreads review by Mel on January 03, 2009

I really love the whole story line of Princess Meradith NicEssus and her struggles to become queen of the Unseelie court but I'm getting really tired of chapter after chapter of sex scenes. It really inhibits plot development and Ms. Hamilton spends a lot of pages catching the reader who might not h......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on November 11, 2012

Amazingly enough, I enjoyed MISTRAL'S KISS. After the farce that has become the Anita Blake series, I was worried that the Meredith Gentry series would inevitably take the same downhill dive. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. This book is enjoyable, and does actually contain a plot. There are some n......more

Goodreads review by Lila on February 15, 2022

Finally, we see more of Sholto! Does Meredith ever sleep? I think not. There is so much happening and one scene can take up to ten chapters. I have to admit, there are some pretty funny things all characters are prone to say - I especially like Rhys' humour. But I think Merry needs some rest. Also, F......more

Goodreads review by Jenn on July 05, 2020

To me, this is the equivalent of Micah from the Anita Blake series. It's a novella, not a novel and does nothing to the series except make us try to like a new character. This book is just slightly over 200 pages and half of that is one sex scene with Mistral. Now don't get me wrong, I don't dislike......more
