Like her mother, she is gifted in blood magic, able to read what has happened to a person through a mere taste of blood. Toby is the only changeling who has earned knighthood, and she re-earns that position every day, undertaking assignments for her liege, Sylvester, the Duke of the Shadowed Hills. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now Sylvester has asked her to go to the County of Tamed Lightning--otherwise known as Fremont, CA--to make sure that all is well with his niece, Countess January O'Leary, whom he has not been able to contact. It seems like a simple enough assignment--but when dealing with the realm of Faerie nothing is ever as simple as it seems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToby soon discovers that someone has begun murdering people close to January, whose domain is a buffer between Sylvester's realm and a scheming rival duchy.

Early exposure to a vast number of books left her with a lifelong affection for the written word, and led, perhaps inevitably, to her writing books of her own, starting somewhere around the age of eleven. The \u003ci\u003eOctober Daye \u003c\/i\u003enovels are her first urban fantasy series, and the \u003ci\u003eInCryptid\u003c\/i\u003e novels are her second series, both published by DAW and bother of which have put her in the\u003ci\u003e New York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller list. Seanan was the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer; \u003ci\u003eRosemary and Rue\u003c\/i\u003e, the first novel in the \u003ci\u003eOctober Daye \u003c\/i\u003eseries, was named one of the Top 20 Paranormal Fantasy Novels of the Past Decade; and her novel \u003ci\u003eFeed\u003c\/i\u003e, written under the name Mira Grant, was named as one of \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly's \u003c\/i\u003eBest Books of 2010. She also won a Hugo for her podcast, and is the first person to be nominated for five Hugo Awards in a single year.
