Toby Daye is a private investigator. She's also a changeling — daughter of a faerie creature of the Summerlands and a human. A loyal knight, she was investigating the disappearance of her liege's daughter. Her liege's Evil Twin busted her doing it, and the consequences of being caught cost her fourteen years of her life and everything that mattered to her.As a result, Toby cut herself off from dealing with the fae world, and lived as a recluse and hiding her fae appearance under spells and illusions, until another fae, with her dying breath, geased a reluctant Toby via answering machine to solve her murder.This is where the adventure in Rosemary and Rue starts. Toby must return to the fae community to solve the case or literally die trying thanks to the geas. To her astonishment, the fae community is happy to have her back. And once she solves this case, she only finds more to do.So far, the series, written by Hugo Award-winning author Seanan McGuire, comprises: Rosemary and Rue (September 2009) A Local Habitation (March 2010) An Artificial Night (September 2010) Late Eclipses (March 2011) One Salt Sea (September 2011) Ashes of Honor (September 2012) Chimes at Midnight (September 2013) The Winter Long (September 2014) A Red-Rose Chain (September 2015) Once Broken Faith (September 2016) The Brightest Fell (September 2017) Night and Silence (September 2018) The Unkindest Tide (September 2019) A Killing Frost (September 2020) When Sorrows Come (September 2021) Be the Serpent (September 2022) Sleep No More (2023) The Innocent Sleep (2023) - the events of Sleep No More from Tybalt's point of view These Violent Delights (2024)Short stories: "Rat-Catcher", which focuses on Tybalt's early history in Londinium, published in A Fantasy Medley 2. "Through This House", which fills in a few gaps between Late Eclipses and One Salt Sea, published in Home Improvement: Undead Edition. A few fragments have also found their way around. "In Sea-Salt Tears", a prequel to One Salt Sea, published on McGuire's website. "Never Shines The Sun", expanding on a story Toby only gets a glimpse of in Chimes At Midnight. It is available only in the paperback edition of Chimes At Midnight. Ebook versions do not (or are not supposed to) contain the short story. "Forbid the Sea", a sequel to "Rat-Catcher", published on McGuire's website. "No Sooner Met," a Tybalt-narrated short story chronicling Tybalt and Toby's first "official" date. "The Fixed Stars", about the Luidaeg's history, published in Shattered Shields. "Heaps of Pearl", featuring the first meeting of Dianda and Patrick of One Salt Sea, published on McGuire's website. "Full of Briars", in which we meet Quentin's parents, who get to decide if he remains with Toby after his Secret Identity starts to become less secret. Published electronically by DAW books.Beginning with Once Broken Faith, every novel includes a bonus novella. However, these are only available in the print and ebook versions, not the audiobooks "Strangers In Court", included in the 10th anniversary hardcover reprinting of Rosemary and Rue; a prequel to the main series set during Toby's time at Home "Dreams and Slumbers", included with Once Broke Faith; in which Arden struggles with balancing her new life as "Queen in the Mists" with her old life as a bookseller.

Supernatural Phone
 October Daye / int_12f58a7b
comment
Supernatural Phone: The landlines and cellphones owned by the faerie are all magicked for privacy and to work under odd magical conditions where technology ordinarily would not function, generally by the folks at ALH Computing. The Luidaeg's in particular deserves special mention as it is weird even by faerie standards. Beyond not actually being connected to anything, in order to dial it Toby has to press random numbers in random patterns while doing a spell and then gets odd noise before the connection will finally go through.

Immortals Fear Death: If a pure blood dies it accepted practice not to speak their name in Faerie society afterword. Disease and old age are neigh impossible for pure bloods but despair and violence are possibilites, so the cleverest of them take a lot of time setting up countermeasures.

Heroic BSoD: Several characters get hit with this at the conclusion of Sleep No More after Titania's defeated and the real Faerie is restored. Characters who saw themselves at their worst in Titania's Faerie are left guilt-ridden and suffering PTSD. Quentin and Simon in particular get hit hard, with the former now seeing a therapist (and waking up screaming some nights) while the latter's spending more and more time in the Undersea (with Toby fearing her Father's going to end up relocating there permanently and never come out.

Deal with the Devil: Toby's deal with the Luidaeg seemed like one at first, but eventually the Luidaeg asked for a favor in return that left them square. Toby currently owes the night-haunts a favor... April O'Leary blackmailed the night-haunts into doing her a favor, and they were very displeased about it. Simon made a deal with Eira Rosynhwyr to help him find his daughter August.

Curse Escape Clause: Toby goes to the Luidaeg to find one when Evening's curse comes close to end her. She doesn't find one. Turns out the curse escape cause of "find who did this to me or else" is finding who did that to them.

Debt Detester
 October Daye / int_28e69c98
comment
Debt Detester: All of Faerie, to the point that even saying "thank you" is considered very rude. When Arden, who got used to living with mortals, claims her birthright, she accidentally thanks some of her staff and they're so offended they quit. The Luidaeg's works can be paid for by another than the one who will benefit from it. She tries very, very hard to make sure that her charge understands very well what will happen if they do. She tries very, very hard to talk them out of it. Poppy the pixie and Simon Torquill both accepted someone else's debt anyway and paid a dear price.

Faerie Court
 October Daye / int_2ba97f22
comment
Faerie Court: The Divided Courts rule the collective kingdoms of the Fae, and are ruled by a High King and Queen who are in charge of all the Fae of North America (the other continents and Undersea realms presumably have their own). The various cities and locales have their own individual rulers who are in charge of the day to day affairs of the Fae that live there. The High King and Queen will sometimes organize a conference which invites the various rulers in order to create new rules or for decision making. The Court of Cats, consisting of the Cait Sidhe, is the only kingdom of Faerie that is excluded from the Divided Courts by decree of Oberon, one of the progenitors of the Fae. Their monarchs act independently from the others and are given more freedoms due to this.

Undead Tax Exemption: Double Subverted. Toby was turned into a fish for fourteen years, during which time nearly everyone, human and fae, assumed she was dead. When she turns back into herself, she's taken to the police station after someone finds an unconscious naked woman in the park. She tells them who she is, only to be told that October Daye went missing and was declared dead 14 years ago. Then her old benefactor Evening Winterrose arrives, and is somehow able to convince them that she really is who she says she is. Leaving aside the 14 year disappearance, as a changeling Toby ages more slowly than humans, so it would be hard to convince any Muggles of her actual birth date.

Reluctant Ruler: According to some of the fae history unearthed in Toby's adventures, many of the Kings and Queens of the fae were unwilling to rise to the positions of power they ended up in due to the tendency of royalty to be assassinated by others who want the throne. Most recently this is true for the true heir to the Kingdom of the Mists, who has been terrorized all her life by the pretender to the throne.

Even Evil Has Standards: In The Innocent Sleep, Tybalt speculates this is why Titania didn't try to ressurect Oleander de Merelands — or alternately to create a facisimile to fill her gap in Faerie. Tybalt thinks even Titania recognized her remade Faerie would be better off without the assassin. Mary confirms this, while also providing more context as to why Titania would pass on Oleander.

Brilliant, but Lazy: In Sleep No More, this is Luidaeg's opinion of Titania. She says Titania's always been more focused on being seen as clever instead of actually putting in the work. This ends up being a key factor in undoing her altered Faerie (as Titania's reality warping, while extensive, didn't go deep enough and she left enough cracks in the foundation to exploit.

Bittersweet Ending

Bittersweet Ending: Sleep No More. Toby and company successfully stop Titania from making her reality warping permanent, restoring the real Faerie (and with it Toby's pregnancy). With Titania's Ride broken, she's claimed by the Heart of Faerie as the Sacrifice (instead of Quentin and Simon). But the characters have all come out of Titania's Faerie having seem glimpses of what they could've become for better and for worse. Some benefit from this (ex. August and Toby become closer siblings) while others (ex. Quentin and Simon) are left guilt-ridden and suffering PTSD. Worse, as one of the First and as a child of the Heart, Titania can't actually die. The Heart technically claimed her as the Sacrifice for now, but will throw her back eventually (given the mechanics of the Ride, the Luidaeg figures they've got at least 7 years). When she finally comes out, Titania's gonna be pissed and gunning for all their heads more than ever. And while she still can't directly harm Toby and company because of Oberon's bindings, this entire incident's proven Titania can and will find another loophole to exploit. The only upside is that Titania pumped so much magical juice into the reality warping that with the spell broken at its source, she won't be able to do this again.

Everyone Is Bi
 October Daye / int_5067fd81
comment
Everyone Is Bi: Bisexuality is the norm among Fae, since they're immortal and have low fertility anyway. October is the only member of the main cast who's explicitly not bisexual, and that's due to her being a changeling though she's been getting closer and closer to becoming a pureblood fae due to repeatedly having to change the balance of her blood away from human.

Fantastic Underclass: Changelings are this, they're even called a "born underclass" in Chimes at Midnight. They're stuck between the world of mortals and that of immortals. Discriminated against and treated as lesser by purebloods. Many of the things in fairy can hurt and outright kill them and their relatives and parents can treat them as children family or even Living Props for them.

Micro Monarchy: Fae populations are already low by human standards, and rule over pretty limited geographic areas, but Tybalt wins this one. After becoming King of Cats in Londinium, he expels every other cait sidhe from his realm to save them from the Great Fire of London (he sticks around to keep anyone else from taking the throne and bringing everyone back). For a decade, he's the sole inhabitant of his own kingdom.

Quentin qualifies as her ward. Raj may as well have been adopted alongside him, and she's Tybalt's partner. Her choosing Simon on his divorce also ties her with Dianda and her extended family. And that is not taking into account Toby's blood relatives: Amandine, and her aunt the Luidaeg, who also now owes Toby a life debt.

Power Incontinence: Toby explains in "No Sooner Met" that she now prefers her steak well done because her Dochas Sidhe Blood Magic will treat her to the cow's last moments if she eats it rare enough to still be bleeding. It was mentioned earlier in the series that riding someone else's death could very well kill Toby if she can't pull free of the psychometry in time.. Chelsea Aimes also has a major case of this. While at first her teleportation powers functioned just fine, they quickly spiraled out of control to the point where she can't stop teleporting. Even the evil noble trying to use her strength as a tool can't contain her, just make sure she'll cycle back to the same place.

Fantastic Racism
 October Daye / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Changelings are seen as inferior by many pureblood fae, and some of them are very nasty about it. Since October herself is not only a Changeling but the first one to ever be granted a knighthood, this comes up a lot. The Dryads are all nasty to April because she's a cyber-dryad rather than one tied to a tree. According to the Chrysanthe and Theron, fae with obvious animal characteristics were once looked down upon as much as changelings were, until changelings became more common and drew the purebloods' ire. Cheating on your pureblood spouse with another pureblood fae is considered adultery. Cheating on your spouse with a changeling or a human is considered a dalliance but not adultery.

Cats Are Mean
 October Daye / int_58e43f17
comment
Cats Are Mean: This is a truism for the entire Cait Sidhe population, if you translate "mean" to indicate "bloodthirsty and dangerous." Their rites of ascension are all barbarous and bloody — a royal kitten is not considered worthy for ascension if they can't hold their own in a fight. That said, individual Cait Sidhe can be as mean or as kind as their inclinations permit. Tybalt, for example, begins the series cold, sarcastic, and aloof, but as he and Toby work together more often and grow closer, she (and the reader) sees that he's actually kind-hearted, affectionate, and honorable. Raj talks smack in the faces of Quentin's parents, insouciantly, because as a royal kitten, he doesn't have to respect the Court hierarchy. He holds nothing back regarding his feelings on them potentially taking his brother from another mother away from him.

If I Can't Have You…: In Sleep No More and The Innocent Sleep, this is part of Amandine's motive for working with Titania. It's payback for the ending of A Killing Frost, when Simon divorced her (and October and August joined him and severed ties with their mother for good). Titania's illusion thus has given Amandine the means to forcibly reunite her family (and get August back) and to punish both October and Simon (in the latter's case by Titania using him as the primary sacrifice of her Ride.

Fisher King: The knowes reflect the styles of their owners/rulers, and mourn if their owner/ruler is killed. Subverted with Goldengreen: As of One Salt Sea, Toby regards the pixies and bogeys as the owners of the knowe because the knowe does... and possibly because Toby is a changeling rather than a pureblood. This changes when Dean becomes Count of Goldengreen. Now that the lands of the Wild Hunt are owned by Acacia rather than Blind Michael, they are beginning to improve slowly (where possible). Treasa Riordan's current residence in Annwn does not appear to have begun responding to her one way or another yet.

Deceptive Legacy
 October Daye / int_6d664435
comment
Deceptive Legacy: Played with: Amandine is deceptive to Toby and pretty much most of the rest of the faerie about Toby's true bloodlines. The other Firstborn know her as Amandine the "Liar" in Ashes of Honor. Bridget is a folklore professor and knows that the father of her child isn't human, but because all she has is folklore, she gets a lot wrong about what he really is. Of course, she passes the wrong info to her child, with the best of intentions and desire to protect.

Our Pixies Are Different
 October Daye / int_6fbf20e4
comment
Our Pixies Are Different: Pixies are human-looking fae with wings who are about four inches tall and were created by Maeve in an attempt to have something to keep her happy. She created them by using drops of her own blood and infusing it into tiny stones which upon coming into contact with the blood, became the eggs of the first Pixies. Pixies have gone on since then to have their own society and customs away from the rest of the human-sized fae.

The Masquerade: Fairies do not go out in public without illusions in order to maintain this. According to Toby, it's because most of them fear that the humans would kill any Fae that showed themselves, as apparently happened in the past, or that Fae would be kidnapped and vivisected to learn how they tick.

Magical Sensory Effect: The magic signature, a scent that is emitted after magic is used or performed by a Faerie or Changeling. Each individual has a scent that is as unique to them as a fingerprint would be. The Heroine October Daye produces the scent of copper and cut grass for example when she uses her powers well her main enemy, Evening Winterrose has the scent of Roses and snow.

Self-Made Orphan: Rayseline attempts this. This is also the backstory of the selkies.

The merlins' children, horrified at this crime, killed them all, took the skins to the Luidaeg, and begged her for mercy, which she granted in the form of creating the selkies.

After-Action Healing Drama: Tybalt collapses in Ashes of Honor and Toby has to race to get the healer to help him. In Chimes At Midnight, Tybalt collapses again and Toby has to make a deal with the Night Haunts to find out how to save him before it's too late. In Once Broken Faith, Tybalt collapses again and has to be "elfshot" until a healer can be found. Different from the second case in that it was not from overexertion but from being impaled through the torso with a serrated stake.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 October Daye / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The curse Oberon cast on Titania was supposed to prevent her from hurting anyone else. Unfortunately, the provision forbidding her from leaving a legacy has led to five hundred years of her being compelled to kill her own children as soon as they get old enough to have kids themselves. The curse keeps her at the power level of the ordinary changeling she believes herself to be (mostly), but it doesn't change her essential nature, so all of her children are Firstborn, which is a pretty big legacy.

Immortality Begins at Twenty
 October Daye / int_7ffca8c4
comment
Immortality Begins at Twenty: Closer to somewhere between 25-30, but the trope is in full effect. Genrally Fae (pureblood or changeling) children don't naturally age a lot slower than human ones (albeit their physical age is a lot more prone to reflect their mental one) but they stop when reaching adulthood. There are exceptions to the rule though Firstborns can look whatever age they want, and Oleander somehow never visibly aged out of her late teens despite being mentally an adult (and literally being 900 years old).

Open Secret: That Amandine and Simon are married is pretty much common knowledge among those who were at the court under King Gilad. They obviously assume this is true for everybody, when it's very much not the case thanks to both time and Sylvester purposefully not telling to younger people especially Toby. This along with Fantastic Racism led to the widespread belief that Sylvester knighted her for something other than merit.

Fairy Ring: Fairy rings are a kind of magic spell that freezes its target in time until either the spell wears down or the ring is broken, and are the reason for stories of humans vanishing into the woods and reappearing a century later. While they're very easy to make, they still have their downsides, as the target can't be moved without breaking the circle, and someone has to keep watch in order to keep the spell going and stop anyone from disrupting the circle.

Back from the Dead

Back from the Dead: Countess Evening Winterrose was actually never dead, and it's such an amazing miracle to the fae that they never consider that might not be a good thing. Alex and the Luidaeg, both courtesy of Toby's Dochas Sidhe powers. As of "Once Broken Faith" Toby starts realizing after she fell to her death that some of her close calls in earlier books were actually this. As of Of Things Unknown, everyone who died in A Local Habitation. Subverted in Sleep No More. In Titania's Faerie, deceased characters like Devin and Blind Michael initially seem to have been resurrected. However, it's gradually revealed that even Titania's reality warping can't just bring someone back the dead. "Devin" and "Blind Michael" are thus either facsimiles or bewitched victims meant to fill the gaps in Titania's Faerie left by the deceased.

Pink Elephants: Toby hopes that a shrieking mermaid in a wheelchair will be taken for this, rather than a sign of the existence of Faerie. In Ashes of Honor, they try to convince a human police officer that he's been given hallucinogenic drugs. He's not buying it.

Just Giving Orders
 October Daye / int_934ca304
comment
Just Giving Orders: One of the major laws is to never kill pureblood fae. Hence, following the letter of the law, the villains of Once Broken Faith have their hands clean while the servant whom they blackmailed to kill purebloods would be condemned to die although she takes them with her instead in a suicide leap. Toby appeals to a room full of pureblood nobles that the villains were counting on this when their servant would inevitably be caught.

Resurrective Immortality: Implied. According to Jin (the healer of Sylvester's Court) Toby died in final confrontation of Once Broken Faith, this prompts her to recount all the "near misses" she had in the books... and starts suspecting that her Healing Factor reached this point and as long her body is reasonably intact (not burnt to ashes, decapitated, etc.) she'll regenerate back to life.

Cats Are Superior: The entire Cait Sidhe population have smugness as a racial trait, at least this is what Toby thinks when she meets Raj. It might have something to do with them being specifically outside of the political structure that strangles Faerie. There is nothing the royals can actually do to the Cait Sidhe and they are well aware of this detail. "A Cat can look at a king," after all.

Big Bad: Rosemary and Rue: Devin is the one responsible for the apparent death of Evening Winterrose which is the main plot of the novel. A Local Habitation: Gordan is responsible for the various killings taking place at Tamed Lightning which Toby is investigating during this novel. An Artificial Night : Blind Michael serves as the main villain of the book having abducted various children to help with his Wild Hunt. Late Eclipses: Oleander de Merlands and Rayseline Torquill plot here to frame Toby for various murders that they committed in hopes of having her executed for them. One Salt Sea: Rayseline Torquill and Dugan plot during the novel to incite a war between the Undersea and Kingdom of the Mists in order to take control of The Mists. Ashes of Honor: Samson as well as Treasa Riordan are responsible for the kidnapping of a young changeling whose powers they plan to use in order to allow them to take over the court of cats from Tybalt and conquer a new realm respectively. Chimes at Midnight: The false Queen of the Mists is responsible for the deaths of various changeling children due to her distributing and selling a fatal narcotic drug to them. The Winter Long: Eira Rosynhwyr AKA Evening Winterrose plans to forcefully take over Shadowed Hills and has helped her descendants seize various kingdoms in order to allow her to rule. A Red-Rose Chain: King Rhys plans on starting a war with the Kingdom of Mists in order to enact his racist blood purity policies on them as well as impress his love, the false Queen of the Mists by getting revenge on Toby for her. Once Broken Faith: Queen Verona is responsible for the assassinations of royals which take place here. The main purpose of this is to help increase her power. The Brightest Fell: Amandine the Liar is Toby's mother and the main antagonist of this novel. During the novel, she kidnaps and holds captive the Love Interest of Toby and will only free him should Toby find Amandine's eldest daughter. Night and Silence: The False Queen of the Mists, once again, kidnaps Gillian with the help of a thin-blood changeling named Jocelyn in an attempt to force Toby to return her Siren blood. Be the Serpent, Sleep No More, and The Innocent Sleep: Titania, whose longtime disappearance is finally explained and resolved — which results in all hell breaking loose, as she warps reality to permanently turn Faerie into her idealized version (and to punish Toby and company).

Kill It with Fire: This is one of the humanity's potential reactions to the truth of the Fae (which is why the Fae are so secretive), the other being They Would Cut You Up. This is also one of the crueler Fae punishments for breakers of Oberon's Law. They get tied to a tree and burn to death. This is usually how the Fae cover up the death of a Changeling's human parent and the Changeling, if they choose their human parent.

It's Personal: Raysel goes too far in One Salt Sea when she kidnaps Gilly. Titania in Sleep No More. While permanently reality warping Faerie was always Titania's endgame, it's made clear she also intentionally structured the "new" Faerie to punish Toby and everyone and everything she cares about. Prior to The Innocent Sleeep, Tybalt had no love for his then-future and eventual mother-in-law (thanks to a combination of the events of The Brightest Fell and the neglect and cruetly October endured growing up as Amandine's daughter. However, that grudge transforms into a burning hatred when it's revealed that Amandine wasn't brainwashed by Titania's illusion and was a willing, eager collaborator in all the suffering October and their friends and family endured. Before they go chasing after Titania's Ride, Tybalt vows to Amandine he's gonna kill her when this is all over if it's the last thing he ever does.

Half-Human Hybrid: Also quarter-human, three-quarters-human, five-sixteeths-human... The more human a character is, the less illusion they need to pass themselves off as normal, but the less magical power they possess. Particularly "thin-blooded" changelings can't even see a lot of the faerie world without magical assistance. This somehow eventually loops around to create merlins, who, as the name suggests, have quite the magical kick but in a different form than purebloods.

Bigot with a Crush
 October Daye / int_a9b55780
comment
Bigot with a Crush: Tybalt dislikes changelings (Hybrids of Fae and humans) due to his beloved human wife having died in an attempt to give birth to their changeling daughter. Its why he he initially didn't like Toby due to her being a changeling as well. Over time though he genuinely falls in love with her and even eventually lets go of his prejudice to be with her.

Fate Worse than Death

Fate Worse than Death: By fairy standards, this is what the deaths of the victims at ALH are, because their memories aren't preserved by the night-haunts. January doesn't even get digitized into the computer, so she's the first truly gone fairy in a long time. This trope stops applying as of Of Unknown Things.

Alien Geometries - Knowes tend to have these. ALH: Windows look out at different times of day. You can walk down a hall and be three floors higher at the other end than you started. Shadowed Hills: Windows in the same room can look out at different locations (and seasons). In the unclaimed areas of the Summerlands, distance isn't always consistent. If you really, really need to get somewhere, then wherever it is you want to go will become closer to you.

Aerith and Bob: Fae (at least purebloods) are functionally immortal, so some of their names may have been more "normal" (in human society) when they were born. Quentin is the "Bob" of his family, with his parents Aethlin and Maida and sister Penthea. The three Torquill siblings are Sylvester, Simon, and September. The Firstborn often have more than one name, but they include people named Eira, Antigone, Acacia, Amandine, Michael, and Pete.

Whoops. Lucky thing it's not permanent.

Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Codified by Oberon's Law. No pureblood shall kill another pureblood. Of course, this led to the creation of Elfshot so war could still be waged (it's not killing if your foe sleeps for a hundred years). The Law itself doesn't protect changelings or humans, and many a Fae has found ways around it like Rhys, former King of Silences, who kept the usurped royal family under elfshot and carved pieces of them for alchemical potions.

Cliffhanger: Be the Serpent ends on one (which is in itself a first for the series). Just as Toby and Tybalt realize she's pregnant, Titania attacks their home. Titania can't hurt Toby's family due to Oberon's new bindings, but she's figured out a loophole in Toby's case. Titania does...something that leads to October somehow winding up back in Amadine's Tower (or an illusion of one), utterly subservient to her pureblood sister August, and with no memory of her life, friends, and family.

Temporal Theme Naming
 October Daye / int_d240712a
comment
Temporal Theme Naming: So far, in addition to October, we've seen a January, an April, a May, a June, and an August. January and April are related by adoption. May was originally October's Fetch. In the third book, Lily comments, "Whatever will we do when the months of the year are used entirely?" Word of God says that in Faerie, it's rude to name someone directly after someone else, but honoring somebody by using a name with a related meaning is acceptable. October's name is somehow connected with September Torquill, January's mother. Gillian means "July". Word of God says this is deliberate. Evening Winterrose and her sister, Dawn. who is actually her daughter since Evening's actually Firstborn.

Equivalent Exchange: The Luidaeg runs on this. In later books it's revealed she charges so harshly because she's not allowed to refuse a deal, so the best she can do is make the price too high. August overconfidently took the Luidaeg at the extremely dear price she demanded, and the cascading consequences made her impossible to find for years.

Famed In-Story: Toby.

After dethroning the false Queen of the Mists she also gained the reputation of ''king-breaker'', which with the omnipresence of royalty in the story qualifies as becoming The Dreaded.

Didn't See That Coming
 October Daye / int_dfa40c1b
comment
Didn't See That Coming: Zigzagged during the ending of Be the Serpent when Titania attacks Toby's home. While Team Toby knew Titania would be a problem moving forward, they also expected she'd take time to lick her wounds and plan out her next move. They didn't expect that Titania would immediately come gunning for them not even an hour after her defeat in Muir Woods. They also didn't anticipate such a frontal attack, because the new bindings Oberon put in place to protect Toby and her family from retribution should've prevented it. Unfortunately, as one of the Three, Titania has Loophole Abuse down to an art form and she quickly figured out how to circumvent Oberon's bindings to get at Toby. Sleep No More expands on this, adding context to why Toby and company got caught off guard by Titania's retaliation. Her reality warping of Faerie had been planned and ready to go for a long time (but hadn't been executed between Oberon's bindings and how risky the plan was). Toby's actions pissed her off enough to pull the trigger then and there (and to quickly and easily adjust the plan to hurt Toby and company without technically violating Oberon's bindings).

Geas: Used a lot by several different characters. The plot of the first novel is kicked off by Evening Winterrose leaving a voicemail for Toby that contains a binding, compelling Toby to solve her murder as soon as possible, or the curse will literally kill her. The Luidaeg became what she is today due to several geasa Titania placed on her: She Cannot Tell a Lie, will always give someone what they need if they meet her price, and cannot harm any descendant of Titania. Similarly, Oberon bound Eira Rosynhwyr to be unable to harm any of Amandine's line. Eira Rosynhwyr bound Simon and the Luidaeg to be unable to tell anyone about her unless they figured it out on their own.

Something about a Rose: Roses show up everywhere in this series. They're used in alchemical potions, travel between realms (the "Rose Road"), in magical bindings, to send messages, as symbolism, you name it. Two important characters have roses as part of their magical signature scent. Other characters are basically dryads, but for roses instead of trees. One of Toby's "cats" is actually an animate rosebush.

Exact Words: Sylvester casts a geas on his own twin brother Simon to protect Toby. But he's more of a sword-swinger than an intricate magic worker, resulting in loopholes due to insufficiently specific phrasing. When the geased party breaks the condition of "casting a spell against her" the geas slams down with the punishment because it couldn't tell the spell was to protect Toby. Hostages were taken against Toby completing a task, with a promise to return them. When Toby completes the task, she is told:

Moment Killer

comment
Moment Killer: The Luidaeg takes great pleasure in dropping by when people (especially Toby and Tybalt) would start doing... something else. Some of them know this so actively try to not have moments around her.

comment
Oh, My Gods!: The Fae swear by their sacred trees ("Oak and ash!"), by the names of their progenitors ("Maeve's tits!"), or by other terms sacred to them ("Root and branch!"). Leads to funny, as the Luidaeg, who is actually the offspring of Oberon and Maeve, will swear by "Dad's balls" and "Mom's tits".

Refused Reunion
 October Daye / int_edfef8b1
comment
Refused Reunion: Toby's ex-boyfriend and her daughter Gillian refuse to have anything to do with her when she resurfaces after a fourteen-year disappearance, unaware that she was actually forcefully transformed and left in a koi pond. Gillian and Toby are forced back into contact in One Salt Sea but remain estranged, not least because people keep attacking Gillian to get to Toby. They eventually have something of a reconciliation after it's revealed that Toby's human grandmother had been manipulating Gillian to drive the two of them apart, due to said grandmother having a hatred of the fae.

Mundane Utility: A given, since purebloods don't usually use human technology. A common example is that knowe kitchens are chock-full of meals held in stasis just in case the nobles wake up with a sudden craving.

Cats Have Nine Lives: One of the boons of being the local King or Queen of Cats is more than one life, but not as many as nine. Tybalt doesn't share the exact number. As of Once Broken Faith, he has none left.

Creepy Child: April O'Leary, the first cyber-dryad is one of these. Especially since she also has a full grown woman form that slips back to the child form when she's upset or frightened. This is true of the kids left as the Wild Hunt after Toby rescues hers. They're either unwilling/unable to turn back to what they were, or so much time has passed that they don't remember what they were. Whichever, they're all obviously unsettlingly off.

Never Say "Die"
 October Daye / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": Played with; the fae, left unmolested, are pretty much immortal. Not so much the changelings. When murder happens, though, among the nobility, there are explicit and elaborate forms full of flowery euphemisms for announcing when someone has died. For brevity, these are sometimes shortened to "(Person) has stopped their dancing."

Brain Uploading: Dryads normally live inside trees. After her grove was cut down, April the dryad escaped and January O'Leary managed to put her consciousness into an information "tree" in a computer server. Later on in A Local Habitation, it turns out the secret project ALH was working on was a way to do this to all fae, and Gordan was using it to kill people by uploading their minds.

Selkies and Wereseals
 October Daye / int_fe42181f
comment
Selkies and Wereseals: Selkies and Roane are two fae races. The selkies' tragic origin story appears in one volume. The Roane were the original race, being fae who could turn into seals at will and had the gift of prophecy. Merlins, humans with fae ancestry, were told by Eira Rosynhwyr, one of the firstborn, that if they killed the Roane and took their skins they could gain the Roanes' power for themselves. They did so, but their children were horrified by it and murdered their own parents then took the skins to The Luidaeg, the firstborn fae who was mother to the Roane and prepared to offer their own lives to her in order to avoid her wrath falling upon anyone else. Instead, she took pity on them and bound the skins of her own children to them to make them the first selkies. In The Unkindest Tide, October's Blood Magic is used to attach the selkie skins to them and changed them all fully into Roane, ressurecting the race.

You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Evening, who only ever called Toby 'October', resorts to calling her Toby in her last answering machine message. Tybalt has a number of nicknames for Toby, several of which she hates, but only calls her October when he's very worried about her. May would also only use Toby's full name in dire circumstances.

Out of Job, into the Plot: After being turned into a fish for 14 years, Toby wants nothing to do with the fairy world, and works a Soul-Sucking Retail Job at a Safeway. Then she finds out The Call Left a Message (literally, a geas through her answering machine) and gets involved. Due to circumstances, she gets fired from the Safeway after she fails to show up, and never looks back.
