Book Two · The Hollow Crown

The Wife of War

The Hollow throne is no longer empty. The Tide Court has a question its library cannot answer. And the prince who was sent to the marsh to be forgotten has not stayed.

The Wife of War follows Mira Solenne beyond the trials, into a war the four courts have spent eight centuries learning not to fight — and into the slow, deliberate work of becoming something the Hollow Crown has never held.

Letters from Vesserath

The year Mira spent learning to be queen, her sister was at Vesserath, growing up.

Wren wrote to her often — through the monthly rides south, through the bindings, through the working. Three of those letters survive.

They are not in this book or the next. They are a small thing on their own — fifteen years old in the first letter, sixteen by the last, the three-squeeze code closing each one a little differently.
