Laurell K. Hamilton`s genre-bending Meredith Gentry series fuses faerie magic with hardboiled L.A. crime to create an erotically charged fantasy setting unlike any other. In MISTRAL`S KISS, the fifth installment in the series, the faerie princess (and former P.I.) Meredith NicEssus and her cousin Cel compete to produce an heir to the throne of the Unseelie Kingdom. To this end, Meredith engages in ravishing sex with the immortal sidhe royal guardsmen, and her amorous adventures with one named Mistral begins to magically transform the faerie world. However, the developments are not appreciated by King Sholto, the dark King of the Sluagh, and Meredith must form a sexual alliance with Sholto--an alliance that awakens the legendary Wild Hunt.
