The second book of The Hollow Crown.
Mira Solenne has been queen of Hollow for one year.
Her sister is well. Her husband is in exile in a marsh. The four pillars of the dead Heartwood have begun, one by one, to bloom.
A name arrives on her table at the morning bell - and Mira learns there is another mortal like her. She learns what the queen of Tide has been building, in three small chambers, for nineteen months. She learns what it costs to ask a forest that has refused to wake for eight hundred years what it wants.
The Wife of War is a slow-burn literary romantasy about marriage, sisterhood, working magic, and the price a queen pays for a country that has decided to live again. It continues the story begun in The Bone Trials and deepens it: a book of letters, of recipes, of a court learning to keep its promises, of a wife who must decide what she will spend to save what she has built.
For readers of Sue Lynn Tan, Naomi Novik, Madeline Miller, and Sarah J. Maas.
