ROSEMARY AND RUE

Book ID/图书代码: 02173014B71922

English Summary/英文概要: "Rosemary and Rue is one of the most successful blends of mystery and fantasy I’ve ever read—like Raymond Chandler by way of Pamela Dean. Toby Daye has become one of my favorite heroines, and I can’t wait to read more of her continuing adventures."—Tim Pratt, author of Dead Reign

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 half-human, half-fae children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or, in the case of October "Toby" Daye, rejecting it completely. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating into a “normal” life. Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other ideas...

The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unable to resist Evening’s dying curse, Toby must resume her former position as knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills and begin renewing old alliances that may prove her only hope of solving the mystery...before the curse catches up with her. Rosemary and Rue is the first installment of the highly praised Toby Daye series.

Awards/获奖情况:★雨果獎最佳系列(Hugo Award for Best Series)-決選(2024)

"Everything you’d ever need in an urban fantasy. It’s a smart story, cleanly told that allows both humor and heartbreak to take their turn on stage but, more importantly, the ’urban’ and the ’fantasy’ are of equal importance." —Tanya Huff, author of the Blood Books

"Rosemary and Rue is one of the most successful blends of mystery and fantasy I’ve ever read—like Raymond Chandler by way of Pamela Dean. Toby Daye has become one of my favorite heroines, and I can’t wait to read more of her continuing adventures." —Tim Pratt, author of Dead Reign

"Well researched, sharply told, highly atmospheric and as brutal as any pulp detective tale, this promising start to a new urban fantasy series is sure to appeal to fans of Jim Butcher or Kim Harrison." —Publishers Weekly.

"Rosemary and Rue is a winner in a sub-genre that has been butchered recently with zillions of imitations." —Harriet Klausner.

"Seanan McGuire’s funny, raw, and engaging style of writing has put her at the top of my "new favorite authors" pile. I highly recommend Rosemary and Rue as a fantastic debut novel and eagerly wait to see what comes next both in this series and from the author." —Jennifer Brozek, Apex Magazine.

"McGuire successfully blends Robert B. Parker-like detective fiction with love and loss, faith and betrayal—and plenty of violence." —Sean Melican, Bookpage.

"Part detective noir and part fairy tale, McGuire strikes just the right balance between hard boiled mystery and exploration of a new magical world...Like Toby, Rosemary and Rue isn’t perfect, but it’s excellent." —Mia Nutick, Green Man Review.

About the Author/作者介绍: Seanan McGuire生于加州的马第尼斯,从小便和当地的一些危险的野生动物玩伴长大。尽管她对一些有毒的生物充满了兴趣,但不知为何她还是最后还是对写作充满了欲望。 Seanan的超现实主义文风,故事结局经常以“主人公获得抗毒剂”或是“完好无损”收尾。Seanan是系列奇幻城市故事《达耶10月》等小说的作者,除此之外,她还以笔名“Mira Grant”撰写了其他许多故事。 Seanan 曾是2010年度约翰•w•坎贝尔最佳新人奖,而她以笔名(Mira Grant)的小说《放牧》曾在同年被出版商周刊评为最佳作品之一。2013年,她成为五度出现在雨果•巴洛奖的提名名单上。

Seanan McGuire is a native Californian, which has resulted in her being exceedingly laid-back about venomous wildlife, and terrified of weather. When not writing urban fantasy (as herself) and science fiction thrillers (as Mira Grant), she likes to watch way too many horror movies, wander around in swamps, record albums of original music, and harass her cats.

Seanan is the author of the October Daye, InCryptid, and Indexing series of urban fantasies; the Newsflesh trilogy; the Parasitology duology; and the "Velveteen vs." superhero shorts. Her cats, Lilly, Alice, and Thomas, are plotting world domination even as we speak, but are easily distracted by feathers on sticks, so mankind is probably safe. For now.

Seanan’s favorite things include the X-Men, folklore, and the Black Death. No, seriously. She writes all biographies in the third person, because it’s easier that way.
