Eleanor Vance delivers one of the most assured fantasy debuts in years. Here is why The Hollow Crown earns its place on your shelf.
The Hollow Crown
by Eleanor Vance
When the old king dies without a named successor, seventeen-year-old Wren discovers she is the last of a bloodline everyone believed extinct. The lantern-magic that once protected the mountain realm has begun to fail, and the great families circle the empty throne like wolves.
To claim the Hollow Crown, Wren must descend into the tunnels beneath the capital and rekindle a flame that has been dark for a hundred years — a flame that takes as much as it gives.
Lush, propulsive, and emotionally precise, The Hollow Crown announces Eleanor Vance as a major voice in modern fantasy.
