October Day is the child of a fairy and a human. And even more so - a child of the streets of San Francisco. A changeling, a half-breed, and a not-so-lucky private detective. As a teenager, she fled the Summerlands of the faeries because, due to her origins, she was doomed to remain a stranger there. But even in the mortal world, the life of a changeling cannot be called simple, and Toby, on top of everything else, seems to have a talent for attracting problems. She managed to get involved in the intrigues of the most influential and dangerous purebred fairies and, as a result, spent fourteen years under water, losing everything she managed to gain in the human world. After such trials, the most sensible decision was to stay away from her supernatural relatives, and Toby tried her best to avoid even the slightest contact with them, but the brutal murder and dying curse of the fairy aristocrat will not allow October Day to escape her fate.
