Overview

The Way-Finder's job was supposed to get easier. It hasn't. Three months ago, Princess Wren settled a four-hundred-year debt, restored a broken connection between her kingdom and the intelligence living in the stone beneath it, and became the Royal Way-Finder - the only person in Overmore who can hear what the underground is trying to say. She has written eleven reports. She is getting better at the job. Things are, officially, going well. Then a woman appears at the city gate. Grey-haired, grey-eyed - except the eyes are the wrong colour. The pale blue-white of bioluminescent stone. The colour of something that has been underground for a very long time and has only recently remembered how to be here. Her name is Mira. She is the last surviving way-finder from before the great break - the moment four centuries ago when the network was severed, the connection was lost, and she was left stranded at the boundary between the world above and the world below. She has been there ever since. Until Wren. Mira needs Wren to travel to the Central Node - the hollow crown - the ancient hub at the heart of a network that was never supposed to belong to one kingdom alone. She says restoring it will complete the connection, free her from the boundary, and give Wren access to geological intelligence that no way-finder has held in four hundred years. She is telling the truth. She is not telling all of it. In the granite country beyond Overmore's borders, Wren will find border communities who have been keeping records of the underground for centuries without knowing what they were recording. A boy named Brenn who has been maintaining a four-hundred-year-old sentinel post because his family was told to and never thought to stop. And a secret at the heart of the hollow crown that rewrites everything she thought she understood about the network, the compact, and the small grey pigeon that has been on her shoulder since she was eight years old. The Hollow Crown is not just a place. It is a promise. And someone made it a very long time before Wren was born. Perfect for fans of Ella Enchanted, The Princess Bride, and A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking - a story about what happens after the overlooked kid saves the kingdom. It turns out the kingdom had more secrets. Book Two of The Overmore Chronicles. Book One, The Unworthy Heir, available now.
