A Red-Rose Chain

October "Toby" Daye, a New York Times-bestselling urban fantasy heroine, finally finds a semblance of peace in her life, surrounded by friends, allies, a loyal squire, and the love of the King of Cats. Yet, this hard-won tranquility is shattered when Queen Windermere's seneschal falls victim to a magical attack by agents from the neighboring Kingdom of Silences. Thrust into an unexpected diplomatic role, Toby must journey to Portland, Oregon, to persuade King Rhys of Silences to avert an impending war against the Mists. However, the political landscape is far more treacherous than anticipated, and Toby uncovers a sinister truth in Silences that surpasses her worst fears. As old and new allies face existential threats, Toby must confront past dangers she believed long gone, forcing her to question how much she is willing to sacrifice and change to protect those she loves and prevent an all-out fae conflict. In Faerie, shadows are never truly banished; they merely bide their time.
