English Summary/英文概要: "McGuire just keeps getting better and better." —RT Book Reviews
October "Toby" Daye, changeling knight in the service of Duke Sylvester Torquill, finds the delicate balance of her life shattered when she learns that an old friend is in dire trouble. Lily, Lady of the Tea Gardens, has been struck down by a mysterious, seemingly impossible illness, leaving her fiefdom undefended. Struggling to find a way to save Lily and her subjects, Toby must confront her own past as an enemy she thought was gone forever raises her head once more: Oleander de Merelands, one of the two people responsible for her fourteen-year exile.
Time is growing short and the stakes are getting higher, for the Queen of the Mists has her own agenda. With everything on the line, Toby will have to take the ultimate risk to save herself and the people she loves most—because if she can’t find the missing pieces of the puzzle in time, Toby will be forced to make the one choice she never thought she’d have to face again...
Late Eclipse is the fourth installment of the highly praised Toby Daye series.

Awards/获奖情况:"In this tightly plotted adventure, McGuire mixes nonstop action with a wealth of mythology to deliver a wholly satisfying story." —Publisher’s Weekly
"Vibrant writing and a likable narrator make this one of the stronger entries in the urban fantasy genre. It should appeal to fans of Jim Butcher’s ’Dresden Files.’" —Library Journal
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.
