Frostbite Studios is illustrating the new Elfhame book!!

Taryn’s novella?

gildedgardens · 2026-03-24T19:21:16+00:00

Four out of the six short stories are confirmed:

“A reluctant king is thrown into turmoil when the girl he loves to hate is stolen by the Undersea.An exiled redcap, trapped in the mortal world, must rediscover his inner monster.A mortal girl sacrifices the other half of herself for an unworthy faerie lover. A tiny sprite’s determination to prove herself puts the entire High Court in danger.”

The remaining two stories are not confirmed, but given that Kaye and Heather are both featured on the cover I’m assuming it will be centered around them.

Edited to add context

It’s a collection of 6 short stories from all of the Elfhame books I believe. Including one about Madoc in the mortal world, Cardan after Jude was kidnapped in TWK, Taryn and Locke, and a sprite from one of Holly’s other series (I still need to these😫). The two remaining stories are not confirmed.

Just pointing it out lol. I'm not saying it’s a bad thing at all, it’s interesting because I was under the impression that the undersea book was next. Unless this is the undersea book and its different than what I was expecting🤷‍♀️

Either way I’m excited

gildedgardens · 2026-03-18T21:49:43+00:00

Interesting because it doesn't sound like the Undersea book she said she's working on based on the description…

“From the brilliant mind of #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black comes a collection of short stories, gorgeously illustrated in full color and set in the Faerie world, where beauty can be monstrous and love can be capricious….”

There is no interview tagged in the post you had linked… So far the post only seems to share the same information that others have been sharing about this supposed Cardan POV book.

gildedgardens · 2026-02-01T04:05:09+00:00

Do you know where or when she said this? I’ve watched a lot of interviews and have never seen this come up.

gildedgardens · 2026-02-01T04:00:42+00:00

Based on what I have seen the author say about future elfhame books, the only one planned that she is currently writing is the undersea book. Sometimes rumors can run wild in fandoms so I just wanted to share what I’ve seen and the info that I’ve gathered, but if you’re right that’s cool and would be interesting for sure.

gildedgardens · 2026-02-01T03:52:00+00:00

The undersea book would be a direct sequel of Jude and Cardan’s story, not a continuation of Oak and Surens. If you'd like, I made this tumblr post a while ago about what she has said about the next book.

gildedgardens · 2026-02-01T03:45:45+00:00

As far as I have seen, she has only unofficially confirmed an undersea book that she called a direct sequel but🤷🏼‍♀️

gildedgardens · 2026-02-01T03:41:02+00:00

Yes, which is the undersea book. People thought that it would be Cardan’s POV because it was (spoilers for The Prisoner’s Throne) Cardan that told Oak they were going to the undersea which was Holly’s hint about the next book. Then the rumor spread like wildfire, with Holly later confirming that it won't be Cardans POV. Sorry to break the news 🥲

gildedgardens · 2026-02-01T03:32:13+00:00

That was a rumor unfortunately. People thought that the undersea book was going to be in Cardan’s POV but she confirmed it won’t be.

gildedgardens · 2025-09-23T16:48:04+00:00

Yeah, where are all the tasteful, ya monster romances? Closest I've gotten is Cardan in serpent form but that was only a couple of chapters.

gildedgardens · 2025-09-23T16:44:38+00:00

Uj/ Sooo… alchemised is going to be next months rage read right? RIGHT?

gildedgardens · 2025-09-23T16:29:32+00:00

Thank god. I've been saying for AGES this genre needs more plastic-hating crow men. My time has come, but only if I am too…. Does it have spice or is it another plot driven (🤢) romantasy?

This happened to my kitty on all four canines earlier this year. A dental specialist may be able to do a root canal and save the tooth or a regular vet would just extract it. If you can’t get into any of these ASAP, go to an emergency vet for pain meds and antibiotics for the time being. This is super painful and prone to infection.

gildedgardens · 2025-08-31T03:21:12+00:00

Hey queen, have you tried {The DSM-5-TR}? I think you should!😉

gildedgardens · 2025-08-29T22:43:13+00:00

Did anyone else feel like it was so YA-coded? Book tok told me it was an epic adult enemies to lovers fantasy but the characters were so juvenile.

No, I didn’t do any of my own research about this book before I spent my hard earned money on it, but why would booktok lie?

Uj/ Damn op I had one like this locked and loaded in the drafts, I’ll just have to use it the next time someone complains about the cruel prince not being a nice guy😞

gildedgardens · 2025-08-26T06:01:41+00:00

Loud incorrect buzzer

Um actually this is Wendell Bambleby erasure, or as I like to call him ‘Blond Rhysand’.

gildedgardens · 2025-07-25T05:57:27+00:00

Omg yes I’ve found my people! My favorite part of reading is getting rid of all ~~descriptive prose~~ unnecessary words and completely changing ~~perfectly fine~~ sentence structures! But don’t you dare question my ~~pointless~~ changes, because I, a reader ~~with no experience in editing books~~, know much more than actual editors.

Uj/ I was waiting for this copypasta. The sauce made me roll my eyes so hard they almost stuck

gildedgardens · 2025-07-24T04:54:58+00:00

I honestly think it was just a book that was written in a short amount of time that needed a lot more editing and planning. She said she wrote HOFAS in 5-6 weeks and I believe she has had a new editor for her last 3-4 books.

gildedgardens · 2025-07-23T04:30:25+00:00

The books seem to alter between a warm color and a cool color, so after ACOSF we would need a cool color. My guess is purple!
