Signed by author on title page. An attractive copy. ; Eleventh in the October Daye series. ; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall; 354 pages; <p>"October 'Toby' Daye is hearing wedding bells in her future - or she would be if her mother Amandine the Liar hadn't just walked back into her life with an ultimatum: Find her missing sister August or suffer the consequences. To ensure Toby's obedience Amandine has taken hostages. Toby's fiance Tybalt the local King of Cats and Jazz the Raven-maid girlfriend of Toby's Fetch. <br>" With no firsthand knowledge of her sister - who has been missing since 1906 - Toby must do the unthinkable and consult the one person who knew August best: August's father Simon Torquill. The man who once ruined Toby's mortal life by transforming her into a fish is now the only one who can save her. <br>"Trusting an enemy-turned-ally like Simon is out of the question but without his help finding August may be impossible . And without August there's no way Toby is ever bringing her own family home. Together Toby and Simon will have to solve one of the greatest mysteries in the Mists - and they must do it quickly. Amandine's patience is short and Toby's world hangs in the balance. <br>"She's never had so much to lose." ; Signed by Author . Daw Books hardcover
