Story
Hundreds of years ago, the Selkies made a deal with the sea witch: they would have the sea for as long as she allowed it, and when the time came, she would call in all their debts at once. When the Luidaeg - October "Toby" Daye's oldest and most dangerous ally - tells her the time has come for the Selkies to fulfill their side of the bargain, and that Toby must be a part of the process, Toby can't refuse. Literally. The Selkies aren't the only ones in debt to the Luidaeg, and Toby has to pay what she owes like anyone else.

Sounds pretty simple, right?

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected - perhaps infected is a better word - by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.

Publisher's Summary
Now the twelfth installment of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times best-selling Toby Daye urban fantasy series!
Things are not okay.
In the aftermath of Amandine's latest betrayal, October "Toby" Daye's fragile self-made family is on the verge of coming apart at the seams. Jazz can't sleep, Sylvester doesn't want to see her, and worst of all, Tybalt has withdrawn from her entirely, retreating into the Court of Cats as he tries to recover from his abduction. Toby is floundering, unable to help the people she loves most heal. She needs a distraction. She needs a quest.
What she doesn't need is the abduction of her estranged human daughter, Gillian. What she doesn't need is to be accused of kidnapping her own child by her ex-boyfriend and his new wife, who seems to be harboring secrets of her own. There's no question of whether she'll take the case. The only question is whether she's emotionally prepared to survive it.
Signs of Faerie's involvement is everywhere, and it's going to take all Toby's nerve and all her allies to get her through this web of old secrets, older hatreds, and new deceits. If she can't find Gillian before time runs out, her own child will pay the price.
Two questions remain: Who in Faerie remembered Gillian existed? And what do they stand to gain?
No matter how this ends, Toby's life will never be the same.

Powerful Story, Powerful Performance
October Daye’s story continues in the book 12 and makes us re-examine many things that have come before. Seanan again makes us thinks of relationships of all types as the characters clash and give support. For anyone new to the series and thinking of jumping in with the latest, I advise you start with book 1. This book requires an investment of the story so far.
Mary Robinette Kowel’s performance on this book is strong (with the possible exception of Marcia, and that may have been a directors choice). This is not simply a reading, but voice acting and the emotional climax of the book is as engaging as an audio drama.
The only disappointment is that the short story promised on the cover art (presumably taken from the hardcover) is not included.

Knowe is back!
This installment of the Toby Daye series is just as excellent as expected, bringing several stories back around full circle and fulfilling some clever, subtle foreshadowing from before book 6.
But the specific bit that excites me about the audio version in particular is that the narrator, the estimable Mary Robinette Kowal, has returned to the original pronunciation of the word "knowe" to sound like "now" instead of "no" - it was a small, irritating speed bump for my brain, hearing the latter for the last several books. I'm so very glad Ms. Kowal was receptive to fan feedback about the accidental change and returned to the original pronunciation.

I love this series, but this one was my favorite!
If you’re an Urban Fantasy fan and want to live in the world of Faerie (whose creatures are so different from each other in both magical ability and appearance) this is an absolutely fantastic series. Start at book 1, Rosemary and Rue.
This book gives us a look into the Marks family, Cliff, Miranda and best of all Gillian. When Gillian is kidnapped again, a furious Miranda and Cliff pound on Toby’s door in the middle of the day (which is the middle of the night for the Fae) and accuse Toby of taking her. Offended, but willing to do anything for Gillian, Toby agrees to find her. Tybalt, still traumatised by his capture by Amandine, is having trouble looking at Toby due to her resemblance to her mother, and Toby is now devastated by both Tybalt and Gillian. But she is a hero and her own pain will not stop her from finding lost children, especially when the lost child is her own daughter. Blood will be spilled, old enemies resurface and one character turns out to be someone other than what she seems.
As usual, Mary Robinette Kowal was fantastic, but she shined for me even more in this book.
This book is 100% worth the credit!
Happy listening!

Great...but missing the novella!😥
First, I enjoyed the book. Toby and friends are endearing as ever. Tybalt suffering PTSD was heartbreaking. I was expecting the King of Cats to be his usual sardonic,sexy self. The narrator did not please me at all in voicing him.
The Sea Witch as always satisfied...but again the voice narration was not enjoyable.
There is a great reveal and I wonder what direction it will take Toby's destiny. Her family is changing... literally.
Now I bought this expecting the novella and didn't get it. That ALONE will have me NOT continue with Audible after my trial is over. What a shame since I was a devoted customer for years in the past.
Enjoy this adventure with Toby and the gang!

No sense and missed plot lines.
Once again the psychologically fragile and frail "hero" Toby Daye must save her daughter because arrogant people refuse to believe the truth? That makes no sense what so ever. I just don't understand why these villains keep losing.
I hate Tybalt as a character and I really really don't understand why Toby loves him. it makes no sense and the entire relationship seems extremely forced.
Toby keeps idiotic secrets from her ex for no reason at all and he hates her even though she gives him no reason. Again a forced plot device.
The only reason I listen to this series is because of the world a few of the side characters but they're starting to fall into "Love Toby no matter what" fan club.

The October Daye books remain some of my go to paranormal detective novels because of the overarching plot and because of Mary Robinette Kowal’s excellent acting. Well worth checking out as a series, this installment does not disappoint.
