Peter V. Brett’s THE HIDDEN QUEEN UK Paperback Edition out in Two Weeks!

Posted on Tuesday, March 11th, 2025

The paperback edition of Peter V. Brett‘s acclaimed second Nightfall Saga novel, THE HIDDEN QUEEN, is out in the UK in two weeks! Published by Harper Voyager on March 27th, here’s the synopsis…

Humanity thought the war with demonkind was over. Now, after humanity has had less than a generation to rebuild, the demon corelings have returned with a vengeance. The Spear of Ala — the fortress that stands at the gates of the demon’s hive — is the last bastion against the horde, and reports say it may already have fallen.

Olive Paper is expected to take the vanguard in the fight. Only an heir of Kaji can wield the artifact that opens the gates of the Spear of Ala, and as Ahmann Jardir’s child, Olive seems destined for a role as leader and savior. But Olive does not wish to follow in her father’s footsteps any more than she did her mother’s.

Darin Bales was born with supernatural senses that he struggles to process, but even those who love him believe he can barely take care of himself. Yet to save his mother from the clutches of Alagai Ka, the demon king, Darin will brave anything to mount a rescue.

Darin and Olive each strive to walk their own path but find themselves inextricably tied to the legacies of their parents and to a fated confrontation with the demon king and his new hatchling queen. If they fail, humanity may not survive.

The first book in the series, THE DESERT PRINCE, is also published by Harper Voyager (out now in paperback, eBook, and audiobook).

The Nightfall Saga is set after the events of Brett’s acclaimed, best-selling Demon Cycle novels and novellas, all of which are published in the UK by Harper Voyager (in paperback, eBook, and audiobook).
