==Book Description==
Be careful of who you trust."

Words of warning, something Morgan Crowe tended to ignore.

Born Morriganna nic Thulath over thousands of years ago in the ShadowedLands of the Immortal Sidhe, she was the leader of the Mor'sin'dar King's Battle Crows. Named the Morrigu, she was deadly, precise and vengeful.

Favored by her King, Morgan lived an unrestrained life until her temper forced him to remove her from the Courts. For years she lived among the humans, keeping an eye out on things Fae and waiting until the time her beloved King resends his decision and welcomes her back with open arms. But things have changed within the Sidhe lands, deaths occurred and old rumors abound. Unknowingly Morgan has become the object of revenge of a hateful Queen and a sadistic enemy from her past.

Now enters a Were, shape changers with the natural ability to take animal form and with his appearance comes temptation and love. But is he all that he seems? And is she willing to defy her society to find out if he is. For Morgan, her world tumbles around in a whirlwind until all hell breaks loose.

==Excerpt==
"Morriganna.”

Morgan’s body stiffened at the hollow voice that sounded both near and far. Cocking her head to listen harder she shivered as a cool breeze brushed across her bare skin, causing her nipples to harden and the muscles in her abdomen to clench. The hair on her arms stood on end as wintry chills from the rapidly lowering temperature ran down her spine.

Slowly a presence filled the room, causing the kitten next to her to arch her back up in fear until the soft gray fur stood on end. Baring her teeth, Sonji hissed at what she sensed but could not see then hastily raced under the bed to hide, abandoning the woman to fend for herself. Quickly the mirrors and windows in the room frosted, starting first at the corners then rapidly spreading toward the center. Morgan shivered at the growing coldness, pulling her bedspread over her nude body to cut out the chill as her breath left her mouth in small puffs of ghostly clouds. With a sigh, she settled back to wait, watching the fog of her breath hang on the air as she replaced her gun under the pillow.

Morgan recognized the voice that woken her from her sleep, one she hadn’t heard in years but felt a slight bit of relief to know she was not forgotten. But crappy time to be calling, she thought, glancing at the clock face on her nightstand. Three thirty in the morning. It was too freaking early for this. As seconds clicked by then minutes, irritation grew, driving out any want for communication of one of her kind. He sure seemed to be taking his own sweet time and she really didn’t have much patience for it. Not to mention the way it was being done. Obviously the scry was being done via water hence the cold.

With a growl Morgan tugged her blankets up over her shoulders, swearing softly under her breath as she tried to stave off the chill. Usually the cold didn’t bother her as her body naturally adapted to any of the elements but this was no natural frost forming. After several long minutes of silence the caller finally spoke. About time, she snarled, trying to keep her teeth from clacking together.

“Good evening, Morriganna, I hath need to speak with thee.”

“Well hurry up and do it quick, your freezing my ass off.”

The feeling of power pulsating filled the room, giving it an illusion of walls alive and breathing as a brief moment of vertigo swept over the seated woman. Breathing heavily, she leaned her head back against the wall while drawing her knees up to her chest and closed her eyes. It was always disorientating talking to someone not there but considering this was the first ‘call’ from any of the Mor’sin’dar since her banishment, who was she to complain. It was nice hearing a voice from her past.

Until the day her High King lifts her banishment from the Mor’sin’dar Court she would have to make due with the company of humans. Though inventive and chatty, often irritating and somewhat amusing, Morgan missed the company of her own people, missed them desperately. Feeling a soft breeze caressed her check and neck she opened her eyes, drawing her attention back to what was at hand for the moment.

“Morriganna, thou needth to be careful. I hath warn thee though I can not reveal more except that trouble stir in the Courts.”

The rich warm voice of Eryn Sye, an informant of hers from her more ‘active’ days, filled the room. He was always reliable for information if not more but it had been years since they last spoke. Blinking away the last ruminates of sleep from her mind, Morgan straightened up. “What are you talking about, Eryn? You’re the first one to contact me in ages.”

“Something is happening in the ShadowedLands, Lady Death. Rumors are spreading and thy name hath been brought up several times.”

“Brought up? Brought up about what?” Morgan paused, gathering her thoughts as she focused her eyes on the center of her bed. Something was definitely wrong. Eryn was never one to give out information without a price and now he was calling her unsolicited. She suddenly sat up straight, alert to what was not being said. “Why would someone from there be talking about me? About what? Coming back? I can’t until the High King bids me free passage back.” Her breath caught as a flitter of hope filled her chest. “Is that it? Am I going to be allowed back to Court? Is King Silvas lifting the ban?”

The room chilled a little more in response while from under the bed Sonji voiced her displeasure with a pitiful meow. Morgan ignored her cry and concentrated on what her friend was saying. “Talk to me Eryn, what’s going on?”

“Just be careful, Morrigu, for thee hath enemies thou knowth not. I can not speak more, I knowth not more except thou needth to be careful. Thou needth to be wary of all thou meet and do not let thy guard down. Things are not right here.”

“But is King Silvas going to lift the ban? Will I be allowed home?” Morgan asked her heart beating quickly at the thought of seeing her home land once more. She waited for him to continue but slowly the unearthly cold created by the water spell left the room as Eryn’s presence faded, the scry ending.

“Damnit.”

But attractions are not that simple are they? Especially when an old rival shows up and the heat between them flares. But Morgan has no time for macho games, especially when her friend’s life is in her grasp.

==Excerpt==
Opening her eyes with a start, Morgan Crowe leaned forward in the leather seat of her Mustang, breathing hard. She swallowed several times, trying to push the nightmare back and situate herself in the reality of the now. Once her heart beat slowed and her breathing calmed she rubbed her face with her hands then brushed her fingers through the front of her thick dark hair. Putting the car in park, she turned off the motor and leaned her head back against the headrest, closing her tired eyes.
It had been three and half months since she left Portland and her past. Three and a half long months since she had any contact with anyone she knew. Cracking her eyes open, she turned her dark head, gazing at the large gray brick house with creeping ivy along the walls before taking a moment to rub the heavy mound of her belly. The twins within were ready to come. They pushed against her back kicking her bladder every chance they had but now, thankfully, they were quiet.
Letting out a weary sigh, Morgan reached for the door handle and opened the door. After sliding out, she closed it behind her then headed up the walk, moving to the large oak door. The lights inside were on, revealing shadowy figures behind curtained windows. Raising her hand, she grasped the bronze knocker, rapped sharply three times then stood back, hoping she wasn’t making a mistake. Danu, she felt nervous, not a feeling she enjoyed.
The door opened to reveal a tall handsome man with long rich brown hair, braided back to fall to his waist, surrounding a darkly tanned face with deep liquidity brown eyes. He looked the dark haired woman up and down with a practiced eye, noting her heavy pregnancy and frowned.
“Ye might want tae go tae the hospital.” His voice was rich and Morgan recognized the lilting Irish accent right away.
Steeling herself for rejection and her eventual rise in temper, she raised a delicate eyebrow at him. “I’m here to see Vivienne. Is she here?”
The man continued to look at her then after a long stretch of silence, finally deemed to answer. “Aye, but she’s nae available right now. Ye can come back later.”
He started to close the door when Morgan stuck out a hand, stopping the door from closing and pushed it back open as she stepped forward.
“I’d prefer to wait, thank you.” She stared him down until he stepped aside, making room for her to enter.
As she passed by, the scent of roses, light musk and jasmine reached his nose. He reached out a hand, grasping her shoulder and turned her to face him. Morgan’s eyes grew cold as she stared up at him, squaring her jaw as she mentally prepared herself for a fight. His dark brows gathered as he searched her face then not finding what he was looking for, released her.
“Who are ye?” He asked.
“A friend. I met Vivienne years ago and she asked me to visit. I’ve decided now was that time.” Morgan held his dark gaze with her own jade green ones, daring him to challenge her answer.
“Ye seem familiar. Have we met before?” He questioned her further, his frown deepening as his eyes narrowed, for echoes of a memory skimmed through his mind, teasing him but not allowing him to place her face. His stomach knotted as the small hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He opened his mouth to protest when she cut him off.
“I really need to sit.” Morgan smiled sweetly, revealing even white teeth as she patted her belly to emphasize the point. “We can talk about it then.” Shit, she silently groused. Just what I need, prissy Sin’dar’rin Court Sidhe. She wasn’t looking forward to this.
Dismissing any further conversation with the brown man, Morgan turned to the left, where she thought the living room would be and stopped dead in her tracks. Sittings in various areas around the room, reclining in chairs, were two more Sidhe males. She closed her eyes for a brief second, cursing to herself then opened them to study the men around her.
A long, lanky one sat spread legged in a wingback chair, with dark wrap around sunglasses covering his eyes and long midnight black hair that draped over his shoulders to reach the hardwood floor. To the left of him a giant of a man, who was built like a mountain, sat cross armed on the couch, his jewel colored eyes watching her from his scarred face. Coarse steel grey hair was pulled back tightly and the expression on his face screamed asshole. Spying the newcomer, he leaned forward, his pale eyes narrowing.
“Why are ye here, assassin?” His voice cut through the silence, grating and rough with a touch of steel, his tone enough to stiffen Morgan’s spine. “I’m a sportin’ man. I’ll give ye three seconds tae run then I’m hunting ye.”

Ms. Berkley has continued to build the characters who inhabit her world and make them stronger. Even as things become more and more tangled, you have to follow Morgan on her journey. I have a feeling there’s a big surprise in store for not only Morgan but the reader as well. Behind the Throne is not to be missed. I can’t wait to see how Ms. Berkley ties up all the loose ends in book three." ~Samhaim Queen, Dark Diva Reviews 5 Stars and a recommened read
*"The sequel to Enter the Night by Maggie Berkley is just as action packed and sexy as the first but taken to a whole different level. Anxiously, anticipating the conclusion to this trilogy!" ~ Sarah Dizon, Night Owl Reviews, 4.5 Stars and a Top Pick
*"In the second book of the Morgan Crowe Trilogy, Maggie Berkley reveals more mysteries from Morgan’s past. She uncovers secret allies who work behind the throne to help keep Morgan safe, and vicious enemies who will stop at nothing to see her dead. Khelvan and Morgan are forced to re-evaluate their opinions of each other so they can work together to save a Vivienne. Morgan’s children are born into a violent world. They have their own parts to play in Morgan’s story. Can Morgan rescue Vivienne, the one person who went out of her way to help her, or will her association with Morgan cost Vivienne her life?" ~Candy, Sensual Reads.Com Rated 4 Stars

{{DEFAULTSORT:Berkley, Maggie}}
[[Category:Authors - Berkley]] 

'''Maggie Berkley''' A long time fan of dark fantasy with a touch of romance and horror, Maggie Berkley grew up in a world all her own, one she created as a teenager during her long times of parental lock down due to a rebellious nature. As a youth she created stories and plays for her friends to act out for anyone willing (and at times unwilling) to watch and as time went by drew upon her love of fantasy and horror to write novels and fan fiction. Due to the encouragement of friends and family she decided rather than keep her stories for herself she would publish and in doing so created different worlds to feature her vast imagination.

Maggie lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband of many, many years, an extremely tall teen-age son, one rowdy puppy and two cats that rule their lives with an iron claw.

A surprisingly compelling read.” ~Chelsea Perry, Apex Reviews,Rated 4 Stars
*"This debut novel by Maggie Berkley is amazing! A twist of Laurell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series and some awesome characters brings new light to the Fae realm. The plot is intriguing and quick paced. The combination of myth and an overarching quality of new material makes the novel an original in its own right. There is no doubt that Maggie Berkley was out to impress with this novel. I didn't want to stop reading until I got to the very end and now I want the next book in the series “Behind the Throne”." ~Sarah Dizon, Night Owl Reviews Rated 4 Stars
*"Maggie Berkley begins the Morgan Crowe Trilogy by introducing the reader to the colorful characters that populate the Shadowlands of the Sidhe. Morgan knows that no one can be trusted. She knows that even the man she loves will betray her in the end. Assassins are sent to kill her in the human. She fights for her life and the lives of her unborn children. The few Sidhe she can trust are in danger themselves. Can Morgan keep one step ahead of Queen Moirethe? Will Morgan live long enough to give birth to her children?" ~Candy, Sensual Reads.com Rated 4 Stars
