The Stolen Heir: A Novel of Elfhame

- Holly Black

A raw queen. A reticent Napoleon. And a hunt that may destroy them both.

Eight times have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has reclaimed the Ice Needle stronghold. There, she's using an ancient relic to produce monsters of stick and snow who'll do her bidding and exact her vengeance.

Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mama , fled to the mortal world. There, she lives feral in the forestland. Lonely, and still visited by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag, Bogdana chases her through the night thoroughfares. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir at law to Elfhame, to whom she was formerly promised in marriage and who she has begrudged for times.

Now seventeen, Oak is fascinating, beautiful, and manipulative. He’s on a charge that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren’s help. But if she agrees, it'll mean guarding her heart against the boy she formerly knew and a Napoleon she can not trust, as well as defying all the horrors she allowed she left before.
