The Story
Meredith Gentry, also known as Meredith NicEssus, is a faerie princess turned private investigator in a world where fae are not only known to the general public, but are also quite fashionable. She fled the Unseelie court after a series of assassination attempts, and takes on the pseudonym "Merry Gentry" to hide from her family and her past while in Los Angeles. There she joins the staff of Grey's Detective Agency and becomes a private investigator . Her glamour (the art of magical disguise through illusion) is nearly unrivaled at court, and she is able to pass herself off as a human with fey blood. The tabloids, however, never let go the story of the vanished princess, the only Sidhe (pronounced "shEE") royal to be born on American soil. False sightings of her appear in tabloids almost weekly during her three year exile. After three years, however, she is unmasked and her return to faerie, and all that it entails, follows.
