Synopsis

The first instalment of the highly praised Toby Daye series.

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 children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or in the case of October ''Toby'' Daye, rejecting the fae completely. Toby has retreated into a ''normal'' life - spending her nights stocking shelves at a San Francisco grocery store and her days asleep in her downtown apartment.

But when Countess Evening Winterroseis murdered, Toby finds herself drawn abruptly back into the world she thought she''d left behind. It''s going to take everything she''s got just to stay alive, and the stakes are higher than anyone has guessed . . .

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'A refreshingly original story told in a wry, confident voice. Rosemary and Rue is a treat to read' Kelley Armstrong, author of the Otherworld series


October 'Toby' Daye, a changeling who is half human and half fae, has been an outsider from birth. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the Faerie world, retreating to a 'normal' life. Unfortunately for her, the Faerie world has other ideas...


The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unable to resist Evening's dying curse, which binds her to investigate, Toby must resume her former position as knight errant and renew old alliances. As she steps back into fae society, dealing with a cast of characters not entirely good or evil, she realises that more than her own life will be forfeited if she cannot find Evening's killer...

Rosemary and Rue is the first instalment of the highly praised Toby Daye series.
