Synopsis
Sleep No More is the seventeenth novel in the October Daye series. It opens with Toby believing she is living a contented life as the second daughter of a pureblood Faerie family, unaware that she has actually been drawn into a distorted version of reality shaped to fit the ideals of the Summer Queen, Titania. Trapped inside this false world by Titania's magic, Toby cannot be certain what around her is real, including her own sense of who she is, and strangers begin approaching her with claims that they know her from another life and with conflicting accounts of her true origins. As the constructed paradise around her starts to show cracks, Toby must decide whether to trust these strangers enough to risk everything she currently believes about herself, with consequences that reach well beyond her own safety.
