Story
When Toby's mother, Amandine, appears on her doorstep with a demand for help, refusing her seems like the right thing to do...until Amandine starts taking hostages, and everything changes. Now, Toby doesn't have a choice about whether or not she does as her mother asks. Not with Jazz and Tybalt's lives hanging in the balance. But who could possibly help her find a pureblood she's never met, one who's been missing for over 100 years?

Things are looking up. For the first time in what feels like years, October "Toby" Daye has been able to pause long enough to take a breath and look at her life - and she likes what she sees. She has friends. She has allies. She has a squire to train and a King of Cats to love, and maybe, just maybe, she can let her guard down for a change.

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 Jazz can't sleep, Sylvester doesn't want to see her, and worst of all, Tybalt has withdrawn from her entirely, retreating into the Court of Cats as he tries to recover from his abduction.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.

Story
It’s been almost a year since October "Toby" Daye averted a war, gave up a county, and suffered personal losses that have left her wishing for a good day’s sleep. She’s tried to focus on her responsibilities - training Quentin, upholding her position as Sylvester’s knight, and paying the bills - but she can’t help feeling like her world is crumbling around her, and her increasingly reckless behavior is beginning to worry even her staunchest supporters. To make matters worse, Toby’s just been asked to find another missing child…only this time it’s the changeling daughter of her fellow knight....

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.

What do gorgons, basilisks, and frogs with feathers all have in common? They're all considered mythological by modern science, and some people are working very hard to keep them that way. Alexander Price is a member of a cryptozoological lineage that spans generations, and it's his job to act as a buffer between the human and cryptid worlds - not an easy task when you're dealing with women who have snakes in place of hair, little girls who may actually be cobras, and brilliant, beautiful Australian zookeepers.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling October Daye series
Hugo Award-winning author Seanan McGuire
"Top of my urban-paranormal series list!" (Felicia Day)Includes a brand-new map and original bonus novella!
Politics have never been October "Toby" Daye's strong suit. When she traveled to the Kingdom of Silences to prevent them from going to war with her home, the Kingdom of the Mists, she wasn't expecting to return with a cure for elf-shot and a whole new set of political headaches. Now the events she unwittingly set in motion could change the balance of modern Faerie forever, and she has been ordered to appear before a historic convocation of monarchs, hosted by Queen Windermere in the Mists and overseen by the High King and Queen themselves.
Naturally, things have barely gotten underway when the first dead body shows up. As the only changeling in attendance, Toby is already the target of suspicion and hostility. Now she needs to find a killer before they can strike again - and with the doors locked to keep the guilty from escaping, no one is safe.
As danger draws ever closer to her allies and the people she loves best, Toby will have to race against time to prevent the total political destabilization of the West Coast and to get the convocation back on track...and if she fails, the cure for elf-shot may be buried forever, along with the victims she was too slow to save. Because there are worse fates than sleeping for 100 years.

Two stars for missing novella
There is a wonderful novella at the end of this book. You wouldn’t know it from the audiobook! It’s frustrating when the author includes a short story or novella as part of the text and it’s then left out of the unabridged audio book!

An Amazing Addition to the October Daye series!
This was an amazing addition to the October Daye series. I feel like this series just keeps getting better and better. These are hard books for me to review because I just love them so much and the storyline has gotten so involved.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was well done. Kowal does a great job with October’s voice, but some of the male voices sound unnatural and over characterized . She does do a great job conveying emotion and having different voices of all the characters.
All the story takes place in Queen Windermere’s castle and it is basically about the conclave convening to discuss the legalization of the cure for Elfshot. Of course nothing is simple...so when a King is killed and a Queen is Elfshot the High Queen and King ask October to figure out who is behind the hostilities.
Toby’s involvement in the investigation and her dubious status as a changeling means that both her and everyone around her becomes a target for the hostile forces lurking in the knowe.
All of our favorite characters are in this story. We spend a lot of time with Toby, Tibalt, and Quentin. I loved that the Luidaeg was in the story so much, she plays a major role throughout. I also loved that Megan, the oneiromancer, also played a large role in the story.
Things are changing drastically for Toby and the Luidaeg makes some rather large hints that Toby was “created” for a larger reason. This makes me curious to see what that reason is but also makes me nervous for Toby and her plans to marry and be happy.
Overall this was an amazing addition to the October Daye series. These books are absolutely spectacular and do a great job of blending faerie mythology with an urban fantasy paced story. I would highly recommend to urban fantasy fans or fans of mythology and faerie.

Looooove Toby & Co.!!!!!
This is truly one of my favorite series! This book was filled with twists and turns and had me gasping out loud in some places and cheering out loud in others. The series just keeps getting better and better. I cannot wait for the wedding and whatever is going to go down with the selkies. I really need for the next in the series to come out now. Please??? Mary Robbinette Kowal does a great job. My only thing is that the first few minutes sound tinny and is a little distracting. But it goes away. Cannot wait for the next one!!!

Fantastic read and listen!
This book is definitely not a filler. It's about a major change in Faerie and I think moves the story on considerably. Definitely one of my favorite October Daye books and one of my favorite Audble books overall. Mary Robinette Kowal brings Seanan McGuires great writing to life and makes me feel as though I'm there. I like the comment about it being "like visiting friends" made by another reviewer.
I can't recomment this book enough. And I can't wait for the next. I hope there will be one!

A good story but more of a filler book
The story was well written and entertaining, but little character development or furthering of the main plot. So two filler novels back to back. Slightly disappointing but I found it much better than the previous release.

Fantastic story, accents make me twitch...
I love Seanan McGuire's writing, and for the most part, Mary Robinette Kowal does a beautiful job narrating, but oh dear lord, her accents, especially, ESPECIALLY, the Welsh, are purely wince-inducing! Everything ends up sounding like a bad Guinness ad, sigh. But she channels Tobey beautifully, so I try to just ignore the rest.

This one had less virtue signaling. It is less about PC culture and more about the story. Definitely worth it. I hope to find that after turning himself into a man, Walter's alchemy made it so he was fully biological male and can sire little baby alchemists! Anyways good story.
