Will she survive returning to that deadly place and can Prince Oak really be trusted? Oak requires Suren’s help in a dangerous quest to rescue his father, but doing so will take her back to the Court of Teeth and the life she left behind. When Suren runs into Bogdana from the Court of Teeth, she is saved by Prince Oak, heir to the throne of Elfhame. She spends her time foraging in the woods, releasing mortals from their bargains with the fae and longing to return to the human family she once lived with. The Stolen Heir tells the story of Suren, once the child queen of the Court of Teeth, she has been exiled to the human realm. The story is full of magic and adventure, but for me, I didn’t fall in love with it quite as much as I did The Cruel Prince. The Cruel Prince trilogy is one of my favourite YA series of all time and I was really excited to return to the world of Elfhame. The Stolen Heir was one of my most anticipated releases for 2023. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as confronting all the horrors she thought she left behind. He’s on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren’s help. Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful, and manipulative.

Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag, Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world.

There, she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. And a quest that may destroy them both.Įight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent.
