Hell to Pay (Infernal Affairs Book 1)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
by Laurell K. Hamilton
Meredith Gentry, princess of the faerie realm and Los Angeles private investigator, faces her most perilous challenges yet as the epic conclusion to her saga begins. Balancing her dual life, Merry is pulled into a grim investigation involving magical attacks on Hollywood actresses—a case that resurfaces haunting traumas from her own history. As she tracks a predator in the mortal world, political volatility threatens her home in the Unseelie Court.
The stakes escalate as Merry races to break a soul-crushing curse plaguing Aisling, the rightful heir to the Seelie throne. Failure means the return of the sadistic Taranis, a tyrant who would see Merry and her loyal guards destroyed. Complicating matters, Queen Andais drops a bombshell regarding the return of a long-dead rival and a mysterious child who could spark a civil war for the throne.
Between navigating the treacherous politics of her immortal kin and securing the safety of her children and lovers, Merry must determine if her love is potent enough to overcome ancient magic. With the balance of both mortal and faerie worlds teetering on the edge, Merry stands ready to confront the monsters of her past and secure the future of her court.
