Holly Black is taking readers back to Elfhame with her new duology series, starring Jude’s brother Oak, and the changeling queen, Suren. The new duology will start off with The Stolen Heir, which is set to release on on January 3, 2023 from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. “I actually knew I was gonna do this when I was finishing up Queen of Nothing. I was working on my first adult novel, Book of Night, through most of the pandemic, but I was looking forward to coming back to faerie, characters I knew, and a world I’m so familiar with and really enjoyed being in,” Holly Balck revealed to Cosmopolitan in an exclusive interview. “I didn’t want to have it be too long since I’d been there. I’ve gone back to faerie so many times that I think it’s a settled fact that I will continue to go back.”
