| "My name is Meredith Gentry, but of course it's not my real name. I dare not even whisper my true name after dark, for fear that one hushed word will travel overthe night winds to the soft ear of my aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness. She wants me dead. I don't even know why... Rumor has it that I'm dead. Not quite. I am Princess Meredith NicEssus, and if you read that name after dark, you will call down a knock upon your door from a hand that can kill you with a touch. I have been so careful, but not careful enough. The shadows have found me, and they are going to take me back home, one way or another." Quoted verbatim rom the jacket cover of A Kiss of Shadows. |
