Seanan McGuire

    5. január 1978

    Seanan McGuire sa zameriava na súčasnú fantasy s dôrazom na hlboké skúmanie identity, rodiny a spoločenských obmedzení. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje zmesou humoru, melanchólie a bystrých postrehov. Pod pseudonymom Mira Grant sa venuje aj špekulatívnej fikcii, kde často skúma témy ako postapokalyptické svety a etika vedy. McGuire vytvára komplexné svety a nezabudnuteľné postavy, ktoré nútia čitateľov k zamysleniu.

      Když Alex Price souhlasil, že se vypraví do Ohia, aby dohlížel na chovný program bazilišků a pomohl své sestřenici-telepatce při zotavování, nečekal, že kolem toho bude tolik mrtvých. V zoo, kde Alex pracuje, se však objevují mrtvoly a jeho přítelkyně – Shelby Tannerová, australská zooložka se zálibou ve velkých kočkovitých šelmách – začíná být nedůvěřivá. A co hůř; všechna těla byla částečně proměněna v kámen… Třetí kniha série InCryptid přivede čtenáře na nová místa a seznámí ho s novým členem rodiny, přičemž se Alex snaží ustát náročnou pozici mezi běžným životem, prací a touhou nenechat se proměnit v zahradní sochu. Na scéně se objevují staří i noví přátelé a nebezpečí číhá na každém rohu.

      Now in mass market, the thirteenth novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times-bestselling Toby Daye urban fantasy series! Hundreds of years ago, the Selkies made a deal with the sea witch: they would have the sea for as long as she allowed it, and when the time came, she would call in all their debts at once. Many people assumed that day would never come. Those people were wrong. When the Luidaeg--October "Toby" Daye's oldest and most dangerous ally--tells her the time has come for the Selkies to fulfill their side of the bargain, and that Toby must be a part of the process, Toby can't refuse. Literally. The Selkies aren't the only ones in debt to the Luidaeg, and Toby has to pay what she owes like anyone else. They will travel to the fabled Duchy of Ships and call a convocation of the Selkies, telling them to come and meet the Luidaeg's price...or face the consequences. Of course, nothing is that simple. When Dianda Lorden's brother appears to arrest Dianda for treason against the Undersea, when a Selkie woman is stripped of her skin and then murdered, when everything is falling apart, that's when Toby will have to answer the real question of the hour. Is she going to sink? Or is she going to swim?

      The Unkindest Tide
    • New York Times-bestselling October Daye series • Hugo Award-winning author Seanan McGuire • "Top of my urban-paranormal series list!" —Felicia Day It’s been almost a year since October “Toby” Daye averted a war, gave up a county, and suffered personal losses that have left her wishing for a good day’s sleep. She’s tried to focus on her responsibilities, but she can’t help feeling like her world is crumbling around her, and her increasingly reckless behavior is beginning to worry even her staunchest supporters. To make matters worse, Toby’s just been asked to find another missing child…only this time it’s the changeling daughter of her fellow knight, Etienne. Chelsea, a teleporter like her father, is the kind of changeling the old stories warn about: the ones with all the strength and none of the control. She’s opening doors that were never meant to be opened, releasing dangers that were sealed away centuries before—and there’s a good chance she could destroy Faerie if she isn’t stopped. Now Toby must find Chelsea before time runs out, racing against an unknown deadline and through unknown worlds as she and her allies try to avert disaster. Toby thought the last year was bad. She has no idea.
