About this book

Prince Oak is trapped between impossible choices in this blood-soaked conclusion to the Stolen Heir duology. Imprisoned in the frozen north under a monstrous queen's control, he must navigate a treacherous web of loyalty, love, and survival—all while Cardan and Jude orchestrate a dangerous rescue that could topple everything he holds dear. With war brewing and betrayal lurking at every turn, Oak discovers that his charm and cunning might not be enough to save everyone he loves, forcing him to make a devastating decision about who he's willing to sacrifice. Holly Black delivers a stunning, heart-wrenching finale that proves sometimes the most dangerous battles are the ones fought within ourselves.

Create a playlist called The Prisoner's Throne. Haunting fae-touched indie with orchestral undertones and folk whispers. Yearning vocals over atmospheric production. Gothic romance meets icy imprisonment. Think Hozier's darkness, Florence + The Machine's drama, and Bon Iver's isolation. Lush, melancholic, dangerously tender.
