Merry Gentry (series)
The Merry Gentry series is a series of urban fantasy novels by ''New York Times'' bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton. The series is narrated in first person format through the eyes of the series' titular character Meredith "Merry" Gentry, a faerie princess turned private investigator in a world where faeries exist and are known to the general public. The first book in the series, ''A Kiss of Shadows'', was released by Del Rey on October 3, 2000. As of 2012 there are eight books in the series, with Hamilton stating that she is to release a ninth entry titled "A Shiver of Light" on June 3rd, 2014. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laurellkhamilton.org/2011/05/rumors-about-the-merry-gentry-series/ )〕
In an interview with ''Time'' magazine, Hamilton wrote that she saw the character as a way of exploring a character who "is totally comfortable with their sexuality" as opposed to the character of Anita Blake in her Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series.
==Synopsis==
The series follows Princess Meredith NicEssus aka "Merry Gentry", a fairy princess that is forced to flee the court of her aunt Andais, the Queen of Air and Darkness and of the Unseelie fae. The first novel takes place after Merry has spent several years outside of her aunt's court out of fear of death via court sanctioned duels. Merry is soon brought back to the Unseelie Court and given the option to take her aunt's throne, but only if she can procreate before her sadistic cousin Cel can. She is allowed to take several of Andais's court guards with her and through the course of the series gains more lovers that are drawn to her side through love, friendship, power, promises for protection, and/or bargains struck with other magical creatures. Merry eventually gets involved in a series of secrets and court intrigues as she discovers that both of the rulers of the Seelie and Unseelie courts are potentially infertile, something that has the potential to keep both the followers in each court from producing new fae children. At the end of ''Divine Misdemeanors'' Merry has not only managed to become pregnant with twins, but has formed her own informal court, complete with lands and grounds that she has not fully investigated. She has also alienated herself from both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, as she was responsible for the death of her cousin Cel of the Unseelie Courts and filed charges against her uncle Taranis, the ruler of the Seelie Courts, for rape.
