A prince caught between loyalty and betrayal

Set in Elfhame, the second volume of the Stolen Heir duology places Prince Oak in captivity in the icy north, bound to the will of a new queen. His predicament links a personal struggle over trust and past betrayal to a larger contest for Elfhame’s future: High King Cardan and High Queen Jude seek to recover their heir, while a new war threatens. Oak must weigh renewed trust with the girl he has loved against loyalty to the kingdom, with the choice carrying consequences for those close to him. The story’s central tension is a conflict of allegiance, where affection, political power and survival pull in different directions.

Book overview

Return to the opulent world of Elfhame, filled with intrigue, betrayal, and dangerous desires, with this second book of a captivating duology from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black!

An imprisoned prince. A vengeful queen. And a battle that will determine the future of Elfhame.

Prince Oak is paying for his betrayal. Imprisoned in the icy north and bound to the will of a monstrous new queen, he must rely on charm and calculation to survive. With High King Cardan and High Queen Jude willing to use any means necessary to retrieve their stolen heir, Oak will have to decide whether to attempt regaining the trust of the girl he's always loved or to remain loyal to Elfhame and hand over the means to end her reign--even if it means ending Wren, too.

With a new war looming on the horizon and treachery lurking in every corner, neither Oak's guile nor his wit will be enough to keep everyone he loves alive. It's just a question of whom he will doom. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black comes the stunning blood-soaked conclusion to the Stolen Heir duology.
