It’s a perfect world where October Daye is happy to serve until she’s thrown into a world turned upside down. Where perfect strangers claim to know her, call her a hero, and the edges of Titania’s paradise begin to unravel.
A look back by the Luidaeg as she remembers what led to the geas that forces her to always tell the truth, to be cruel, and to help anyone who can pay.
Just when she thought she was safe, Rayseline Torquill winds up in Blind Michael’s lands.
I can’t blame Toby or Tybalt for being amazed they survived the wedding . . . now if they can just get through the reception.
It takes an ambush and a High King to get Toby married. Once the High King gets involved, there’s not much even Toby can do to delay things . . . except for getting involved in stopping a plot to overthrow the High Throne itself, destabilizing the Westlands entirely, and keeping her from getting married through nothing more than the sheer volume of chaos it would cause.
A short exposé of love, both wanted and unreturned, as we get lost in Simon’s, Patrick’s, and Dianda’s memories from 1901 in San Francisco.
October is informed that Simon Torquill — her legal father — must be invited to her wedding political turmoil. It’s a quest she must undertake — an exploration of her family’s past — for the sake of her future.
In 1972, Annie appeared, a woman Liz was attracted to and saw every few years. Eventually it became more and Liz moved away to live with Annie. Until years later, when her mother offered her own skin to Liz. It can be hard to deal with betrayal. Betrayal by family is so very much worse.
It seems like October “Toby” Daye’s life may finally be settling down…at least until dead changelings start appearing in the alleys of San Francisco, killed by an overdose of goblin fruit.
Someone has kidnapped the sons of the Duchess Dianda Lorden, regent of the Undersea Duchy of Saltmist. To prevent a war between land and sea, Sir October “Toby” Daye must not only find the missing boys, but also prove that the Queen of the Mists was not behind their abduction. She’ll need all her tricks and the help of her allies if she wants to make it through this in one piece.
