After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, she's retreated entirely from the fae community, spending her nights stocking shelves at a San Francisco grocery store and her days asleep in her apartment downtown.
Her friends, the few friends she has left, call her Toby. Rosemary and Rue (September 1st 2009, DAW) introduces us to October Daye, a fae half-breed, former street kid, and self-exiled knight-errant from the Duchy of Shadowed Hills. For more details on Toby's world, and for answers to your specific questions, please see the Toby Daye FAQ page. The October Daye series is published in North America by DAW Books, with cover art by Christian McGrath and interior dingbats by Tara O'Shea.
The first sixteen books in the series are available now: The October Daye books follow the adventures of October "Toby" Daye as she tries to find her footing in a world that seems a little more interested in killing her than she'd like. Things have been going downhill ever since. She ran away the moment the opportunity presented itself, only to find that the human world wasn't any better. Born in San Francisco and carried to the Summerlands by her pureblood mother when she was just a child, she was raised in a world that never seemed capable of understanding her. October Daye knows how cruel Faerie can be to its changeling children. Changelings aren't stolen children they're mortal halfbreeds born where the fae and human worlds collide, never able to fully belong to either, outsiders from birth.
But sometimes they take human lovers, and sometimes, those unions are fertile ones. They survive in secrecy, keeping their Courts in the places where the light doesn't fall, existing in parallel to the world we know. The fairy tales, ballads, and folklore of the mortal world are only shadows of the true, sometimes terrible reality of the fae.
