Synopsis

Late Eclipses is the fourth novel in the October Daye series. It opens with Toby settling into a new routine, sharing her apartment with her Fetch, May, in the period after her confrontation with Blind Michael, when word reaches her that Lily, the Lady of the Tea Gardens, has fallen gravely ill with a condition that should not be possible for one of the fae. Investigating the illness, Toby discovers that Oleander de Merelands, one of the two people responsible for the curse that once trapped her for fourteen years, has resurfaced, and that other allies are beginning to show the same impossible symptoms as Lily.

Notes

  • From the series record (October Daye): Long-running urban fantasy series; the main novel sequence only. Distinct from McGuire's Wayward Children. Numerous companion novellas/short stories exist and were not researched.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
