Informationen zum Autor Seanan McGuire lives and works in Washington State, where she shares her somewhat idiosyncratic home with her collection of books, creepy dolls, and enormous blue cats. When not writing—which is fairly rare—she enjoys travel, and can regularly be found any place where there are cornfields, haunted houses, or frogs. A Campbell, Hugo, and Nebula Award winning author, Seanan's first book was released in 2009, with more than twenty books across various series following since. Seanan doesn't sleep much.

But first, she'll have to survive this one, asTitania demonstrates why she needed to be banished in the first place-and this time, much more than Toby's own life is at stake."-- Zusammenfassung The 17th novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times bestselling October Daye urban fantasy series.
