THE STOLEN HEIR A Novel of Elfhame

Saskia Maarleveld sublimely narrates this highly anticipated return to the world of Elfhame. Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, fled to the human world to live in the woods, where she helps release humans from their bargains with the fae. Her mother, Lady Nore, has taken over the Ice Needle Citadel, and prince Oak of Elfhame needs Suren's help to stop her. Maarleveld voices Suren in a gravelly voice, echoing her scream-strained vocal cords and feral lifestyle. Maarleveld's opulent performance of Oak, the charming prince, fully embodies his confidence and easy manipulations, which make Suren unsure if she can trust the boy to whom she was once promised in marriage. Maarleveld suffuses her narration with intrigue and romance, pulling listeners along by their heartstrings. A.K.R.
