An escaped queen. A prince who resisted. And a mission that may swallow them both alive.
The Battle of the Serpent was eight years ago. However, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has taken back the Ice Needle Citadel in the bitter cold north. She is there crafting stick and snow monsters that will follow her orders and avenge her losses with the help of an antiquated artifact.
The only person with authority over Suren's mother, the child queen of the Court of Teeth, escaped to the realm of humans. She lives in the woods there, feral. She waits alone, wracking her brains over the cruel tortures she suffered in the Court of Teeth and freeing mortals from stupid contracts. Before Bogdana, the storm hag, pursues her through the pitch-black streets, she thinks she has been forgotten. Prince Oak, Elfhame's heir, who Suren had long harbored resentment for after being offered in marriage, is the one who saves her.
At seventeen, Oak has charm, beauty, and cunning. He needs Suren's assistance since he is on a mission that will take him into the north. If she accepts, however, it would mean facing all the horrors she believed she had left behind and protecting her heart from the child she once knew and a prince she cannot trust.
The first installment of an exciting new duology by #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black follows Jude's brother Oak and the changeling queen, Suren, as she returns to the lavish realm of Elfhame.
