Part of October Daye
First published 2020
October Daye faces an impossible situation. Her upcoming wedding threatens to plunge the Kingdom in the Mists into chaos unless she invites Simon Torquill to the ceremony. The problem is that Simon, who became her legal father through ancient Faerie marriage laws, is nowhere to be found. October must embark on a dangerous quest to locate the man who caused her family so much pain. She was not ready for this journey, but her future happiness depends on confronting the past. As she searches for Simon, October wrestles with complicated feelings about family, forgiveness, and the price of moving forward. The quest becomes more than just preventing political disaster. It forces her to examine what it means to build a new life while carrying the weight of old wounds.
