An appearance at Brick & Mortar Books celebrates the release of A Divided Duty, the newest installment in Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series. Preordering the book can include a signed copy and an exclusive pin, and personalization requests can be added in the order notes to be passed along to the author. In this chapter, October “Toby” Daye is learning life with a baby, working to keep her child safe from the dangers of Faerie while juggling her responsibilities. Her household is lending support, including Raysel, the estranged daughter of Toby’s liege lord who has been serving a term of offense under Toby’s roof. When that term ends, Luna Torquill insists on taking her daughter back. Toby has provided Raysel with safety and access to a therapist who understands the fae, and Raysel is not ready to go. Luna refuses to accept that and carries Raysel off to Blind Michael’s realm. Even she does not know everything hidden in her father’s legacy, and cannot shield Raysel from the monsters in their bloodline. Toby must race to bring Raysel home before she is lost, and once again the question arises whether she can make the journey there and back by the light of a candle. Seanan McGuire is the award winning author of the Wayward Children, October Daye and InCryptid series, and also writes darker fiction as Mira Grant. She lives in Seattle with her cats, a collection of creepy dolls, many horror movies, and enough books to be a fire hazard. She received the 2010 John W.
