Book description
The Stolen Heir pulls you into Holly Black's glittering, treacherous Elfhame like a whispered promise you can't refuse. Eight years after the Battle of the Serpent, the frozen north has become a breeding ground for vengeance, where Lady Nore wields an ancient relic to birth monsters from ice and sticks.
Suren, the runaway queen who once endured unspeakable torments in the Court of Teeth, has been living wild among humans, freeing mortals from their foolish bargains. She thinks she's invisible, forgotten. But when the storm hag Bogdana hunts her through dark city streets, salvation comes from the last person she wants to see-Prince Oak.
Their history is complicated. Once promised in marriage, Suren has spent years resenting the charming, beautiful prince who's always seemed to dance just out of reach of truth. Now seventeen, Oak arrives with a dangerous mission that requires Suren's unique abilities, and suddenly she's facing a journey that will force her back into the very nightmares she escaped.
What unfolds is a tale of reluctant alliances and dangerous desires, where trust becomes the most precious currency. Black weaves together political intrigue and personal betrayal with the kind of sharp, lyrical prose that makes you forget you're listening to an audiobook-until you realize you've been holding your breath, waiting for the next perfectly crafted sentence.
The dynamic between Suren and Oak crackles with tension, their shared past creating layers of complexity that feel both intimate and epic. As they venture into the north, confronting monsters born of ice and the ghosts of their youth, Black reminds us why she's fantasy's reigning queen of faerie courts and broken promises.
