Tricky plots going on here, keeps getting closer to the truth I think. Don't miss out! I love this series!
Toby's getting married! Now in hardcover, the fifteenth novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times-bestselling October Daye urban fantasy series.
It's hard to be a hero. There's always something needing October "Toby" Daye's attention, and her own desires tend to fall by the wayside in favor of solving the Kingdom's problems. That includes the desire to marry her long-time suitor and current fiancé, Tybalt, San Francisco's King of Cats. She doesn't mean to keep delaying the wedding, it just sort of...happens. And that's why her closest friends have taken the choice out of her hands, ambushing her with a court wedding at the High Court in Toronto. 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. Can Toby save the Westlands and make it to her own wedding on time? Or is she going to have to choose one over the other?
Includes an all-new bonus novella!

October Daye
Full series details →The series
The October Daye series by Seanan McGuire invites readers into a world where the line between the mortal and the fae is not just blurred—it’s perilously thin. Following the life of October "Toby" Daye, a changeling private investigator with a dark past and an even darker future, this series pulls you into a labyrinth of ancient magic, dangerous politics, and mythical creatures. Toby is a half-human, half-fae detective who finds herself entangled in both the mundane and the supernatural, tasked with solving mysteries that threaten both worlds.
Read full series description
Set in a San Francisco where the Fae courts rule over hidden realms and human society exists in blissful ignorance, the October Daye series immerses you in a rich tapestry of lore, danger, and personal sacrifice. From fae politics to magical creatures both old and new, Toby’s journey is as much about uncovering the secrets of her world as it is about grappling with her own identity and past. Her struggles with being a changeling, caught between two worlds, are layered with complexity, making her a relatable yet resilient heroine who draws readers into her emotional and supernatural journey.
In a world where betrayals are common and loyalty is a rare gift, October Daye stands as a series where every choice has weight, every encounter can change everything, and the price of uncovering the truth is often higher than Toby could ever expect. With each book, McGuire builds a unique universe of perilous magic, bittersweet alliances, and intense character arcs, all while keeping the reader on the edge of their seat, craving more of Toby’s adventures.
Perfect for those who enjoy urban fantasy with deep character development and intricate world-building, the October Daye series is a perfect blend of mystery, magic, and personal stakes—where every case could be Toby's last, and every ally might just be a hidden enemy.
