Part of October Daye
First published 2010
October "Toby" Daye serves as a changeling knight in the court of the Duke of Shadowed Hills. She has faced deadly trials that would kill both fae and humans. Now children vanish from Northern California, taken by the terrifying Blind Michael. When kidnappers snatch the young son of Toby's dearest friends, she must pursue them into Blind Michael's domain. Only three enchanted paths lead to his realm, home of the Wild Hunt. Each route can be traveled just once. Toby races against time as her protective candle burns down. If the flame dies before she rescues all the stolen children, Blind Michael will claim her forever. Her mission grows more ominous when May Daye appears at her door. May is Toby's personal Fetch, the supernatural herald of her approaching death.
