The first instalment of the highly praised Toby Daye series.

The world of Faerie never disappeared; it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie's survival: but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born.

Outsiders from birth, these children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or in the case of October 'Toby' Daye, rejecting the fae completely. Toby has retreated into a 'normal' life – spending her nights stocking shelves at a San Francisco grocery store and her days asleep in her downtown apartment.

But when Countess Evening Winterrose is murdered, Toby finds herself drawn abruptly back into the world she thought she'd left behind. It's going to take everything she's got just to stay alive, and the stakes are higher than anyone has guessed...

Rosemary and Rue is praised for its captivating blend of mystery and fantasy, recalling the style of Raymond Chandler with a contemporary twist. The protagonist, Toby Daye, stands out as a remarkable heroine whose adventures capture readers' imaginations. The book’s well-researched, atmospheric storytelling and its dynamic mix of action, intrigue, and romance make it a highly engaging urban fantasy debut, comparable to works by Jim Butcher or Kim Harrison.
