CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT
Book ID/图书代码： 02173014B71938
English Summary/英文概要： "This installment bumped this series up to the top of my urban-paranormal series list!" —Felicia Day
Things are starting to look up for October "Toby" Daye. She’s training her squire, doing her job, and has finally allowed herself to grow closer to the local King of Cats. It seems like her life may finally be settling down...at least until dead changelings start appearing in the alleys of San Francisco, killed by an overdose of goblin fruit.
Toby’s efforts to take the problem to the Queen of the Mists are met with harsh reprisals, leaving her under sentence of exile from her home and everyone she loves. Now Toby must find a way to reverse the Queens decree, get the goblin fruit off the streets--and, oh, yes, save her own life. And then there’s the question of the Queen herself, who seems increasingly unlikely to have a valid claim to the throne....To find the answers, October and her friends will have to travel from the legendary Library of Stars into the hidden depths of the Kingdom of the Mists--and they’ll have to do it fast, because time is running out.
Chimes at Midnight is the seventh installment of the highly praised Toby Daye series.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 托比正在设法解决地精水果问题，当人类和仙境的混血孩子相继开始出现死亡征兆时，这个问题突然间变得极为个人。 而且，米斯特女王似乎意在要将事态升级化，她的干涉也许会让托比遇害，或者更糟。随时时间的流逝，四面楚歌之时，看来一切没有什么不可以豁出去的，或是失去的，只要能活着回来…(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况："Fast-paced, without ever being frantic, with excellent characterization.... McGuire is a dab hand at dialogue, and the bantering between Toby and everyone--especially Tybalt--is one of the highlights of the book." —RT Book Reviews
"The October Daye series is one of those delicious worlds that becomes more and more beloved with each visit, and Ashes of Honor is my favorite of this series to date." —All Things Urban Fantasy
"Urban fantasy novels are big right now and it’s hard not to love Toby Daye." —Amazing Stories.
"Seven books in, and Toby’s world is still delightful, her cause still righteous, her escapades still fascinating. It really is a rare series that can claim such a thing. And October Daye is rare, indeed." —Heroes and Heartbreakers.
"McGuire knows her stuff. She’s great at writing amorality (or immorality, depending), how the world works, unique notions of what binds people, how it coexists (or doesn’t) with humanity." —Fantasy Book Critic.
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.
