When they wrested her from her human parents and sister, they glamoured them into viewing Wren as a monster, so that her family begged Nor and Jaren to take Wren away from them.Ī devastated child Wren was taken into Jaren and Nor’s ice citadel where they abused her terribly, and she’s not sure if the glamour on her parents and sister is still in effect. Whereas Suren, a changeling child who goes by the name her human parents gave her, Wren, lives a feral life in the woods near her human family, rummaging through trash and stealing food from their house while they sleep, Oak is a prince and the heir to the throne of Elfhame, cossetted and adored, Wren thinks (the spoilery reality is a bit different from that, but he lives in a palace and is loved by his family).Īs we saw in the Cruel Prince trilogy, Wren’s fae parents, Lady Nor and Lord Jaren, only ever intended her to be a puppet queen, one they could use to avoid vowing loyalty to Elfhame’s ruler(s). Now in their late teens, Suren and Oak live vastly different lives. When I saw that The Stolen Heir, Oak and Suren’s story, was coming out this month, I got excited for it because even in Queen of Nothing, when both of them were kids, I wanted a story about the two of them. Over the summer I caught up with your Cruel Prince trilogy (I know, I know, I live under a boulder) and enjoyed each book more than the last.
