Synopsis

Prince Oak is held captive in the Ice Needle Citadel, under the control of Wren, who has just taken the throne of the Court of Teeth. He once loved her and betrayed her, and she has not forgotten it.

Beyond her walls, the High Court of Elfhame is readying for war to win him back. Oak is caught between the two sides, with no easy way to reach either.

He has spent his life hiding a sharp mind behind careless charm. Now he has to use that mind to stay alive in captivity, while a larger conspiracy tightens around the court.

The book is the second and final volume of the Stolen Heir duology, following The Stolen Heir. It also branches off from the Folk of the Air trilogy. The fantasy rests on court intrigue and dangerous fae bargains, with a romance in which love and power pull in opposite directions.

As loyalties shift and old bargains come due, Oak must choose: help Elfhame topple Wren's reign, or protect the one person he has always cared about.
