The sixth book in New York Times best-selling Seanan McGuire's witty
urban fantasy InCryptid series about a family of cryptozoologists who
act as a buffer between humans and the magical creatures living in
secret around us.
The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book.
(Charlaine Harris, number-one New York Times best-selling author of
Sookie Stackhouse series)
Improbable, adjective:
1. Not very likely to happen; not probable.

As the youngest of the three Price children, Antimony is used to people
not expecting much from her. She's been happy playing roller derby and
hanging out with her cousins, leaving the globe-trotting to her older
siblings while she stays at home and tries to decide what she wants to
do with her life. She always knew that one day, things would have to
change. She didn't think they'd change so fast.
Annie's expectations keep getting shattered. She didn't expect Verity to
declare war on the Covenant of St. George on live television. She didn't
expect the Covenant to take her sister's threat seriously. And she
definitely didn't expect to be packed off to London to infiltrate the
Covenant from the inside...but as the only Price in her generation
without a strong resemblance to the rest of the family, she's the
perfect choice to play spy. They need to know what's coming. Their lives
may depend on it.
But Annie has some secrets of her own, like the fact that she's started
setting things on fire when she touches them, and has no idea how to
control it. Now she's headed halfway around the world, into the den of
the enemy, where blowing her cover could get her killed. She's pretty
sure things can't get much worse.
Antimony Price is about to learn just how wrong it's possible for one
cryptozoologist to be.
