About the Book:

In The Stolen Heir, the first book in The Stolen Heir Duology by #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, readers are transported back to the opulent world of Elfhame. Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent, but the icy north is still haunted by Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth, who has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel and is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow.

Meanwhile, Suren, the child queen of the Court of Teeth and the only one with power over her mother, has fled to the human world. Living feral in the woods, haunted by her past torments, she believes herself forgotten until she is chased by the storm hag, Bogdana. Saved by Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame and the boy she was once promised to in marriage, Suren must now confront her feelings of resentment and mistrust.

Seventeen-year-old Oak is charming, beautiful, and manipulative, on a mission that will lead him into the north. He seeks Suren’s help, but she must guard her heart against him and confront the horrors she thought she had left behind.

In this thrilling new duology, Holly Black explores themes of power, trust, and destiny, as Jude’s brother Oak and the changeling queen Suren embark on a quest that may destroy them both.
