New York Times-bestselling October Daye faerie series - Hugo
Award-winning author Seanan McGuire - "Top of my urban-paranormal series
list!" --Felicia Day
The world of Faerie never disappeared; it merely went into hiding,
continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie's
survival--but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal
worlds collide, changelings are born.
Outsiders from birth, these half-human, half-fae children spend their
lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or, in the
case of October "Toby" Daye, rejecting it completely. After getting
burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world,
retreating into a "normal" life. Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other
ideas...
The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of
the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unable
to resist Evening's dying curse, Toby must resume her former position as
knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills and begin renewing old
alliances that may prove her only hope of solving the mystery...before
the curse catches up with her.
