Seduced by Moonlight is the third novel in the Merry Gentry series by American writer Laurell K. Hamilton.
While her aunt tried to kill her as a child, she has since offered her the title as crown princess as the Court needs more heirs.
Kurag, Goblin King, is insisting upon proof that Kitto has become sidhe following sex with Merry.
She offers an extra month of their alliance for every goblin hybrid she can bring into sidhe magic.
It is revealed that Meredith is a vessel for the Goddess Danu when she inadvertently brings the pregnant Maeve Reed back into her god-head, and gives Frost newfound god status (which he is not comfortable with).
The cup or cauldron also reappears after Merry has a dream about it, an effect that has significant impact upon the sidhe who believed it lost forever.
The plot was hatched by those amongst the court who feared that a mortal Queen, Merry, would result in the sidhe ceasing to exist.
