About this book
Kierse McKenna is a thief who thrives on the edge of disaster, but her latest heist—stealing a goblin-made artifact from the Queen of the Nymphs—shatters the fragile Monster Treaty and leaves her exposed. Just as her luck runs dry, she is confronted by the one man she swore to avoid: Graves, the warlock who previously ensnared, betrayed, and abandoned her. Graves is a dangerous enigma, a villain cloaked in lethal charm and dark, shifting shadows.
He offers Kierse a path to uncover the buried secrets of her own past, but his assistance comes with a heavy price. To secure her answers, she must partner with the very monster who broke her heart on a high-stakes mission to steal an ancient artifact. Their objective forces them into a collision course with the most powerful entities in the realm, including the formidable Oak King.
As they navigate a world of treacherous politics and supernatural threats, the line between ally and enemy blurs. Kierse must decide if the truth is worth the risk of opening her life to a man who is as impossible to forget as he is to resist.

What readers are saying
Lynn BrownFantastic Book 2!
"Oh My! I devoured this book! Not only do we have tension and yearning from our two main characters, while repairing the fragile trust between each other, but we also have so many other dynamic side characters that pull the story along. There's twists and turns, betrayals, reveals...for every question answered, another pops up. This was a fast pasted, non stop read...and those last several chapters!!! OMG! I was gripping my kindle so hard, I honestly didn't know what was going to happen. I am fully invested and can't wait for the next book. If you love a good enemies to lovers, forced proximity, found family, tortured here, spicy! romance, with magic, Celtic mythology, and monsters in NYC...then read this book/series. ["

C.Peter AlbertsonEven better than book one.
"The Robin on the Oak Throne took everything I enjoyed about the first book and dialed it up with higher stakes, deeper character work, and a much more compelling emotional core. Kierse McKenna continues to be a chaotic, determined thief who simply cannot stop breaking treaties, and honestly? I love her for it. The plot kicks off fast with Kierse attempting to steal a goblin-made bracelet from the Queen of the Nymphs (what could possibly go wrong?), and from there it’s one disastrous, thrilling choice after another. The world of monsters feels richer and more dangerous in this installment, especially as the consequences of Kierse’s actions start to stack up. Graves absolutely steals the show here. His dynamic with Kierse is deliciously complicated, full of tension, manipulation, and reluctant trust. He’s very much still a villain (or monster, depending on who you ask), but this book peels back enough layers to make him far more intriguing without excusing his past betrayals. Their forced partnership to steal an ancient artifact, and the looming threat of the Oak King, creates some excellent banter and morally gray moments. The expansion of the Oak King storyline adds a strong sense of menace, and the political monster dynamics felt clearer and more engaging than in book one. I also appreciated how Kierse’s search for the truth about her past was woven more tightly into the plot instead of feeling like a side thread. The ending left me very ready for the next book. If you enjoyed The Wren in the Holly Library, this one is a must-read, and if you were on the fence after book one, this sequel might just win you over. ["

savvysweetLoved it even more than Wren!
"I loved this even more than The Wren in the Holly Library. We still have a fantastic and complex heist at the center of the story with lots of action, but also so much more. The book begins 5 months after the Winter Solstice and Kierce has been living and learning about her powers in Dublin. However, she’s in France attempting to steel a bracelet from the Dryad Queen when Graves shows up and tells everyone she is his wife 😍 He shares that he has found The Cauldron and needs her help. She shares that she was stealing the bracelet in order to get a token to enter the Nying market. In the market she hopes to find magical assistance recovering her memories. Which freaks Graves out and refuses to let her go without him. His character growth in this book was just EVERYTHING! There’s so much that happens after that! Kierce finally uncovers the truth about her parents and her mentor m, Jason. Graves proves himself to her and those she loves. The inner circle gets a whole lot bigger with characters I adored! Lorcan is ever present and determined to win Kierce over and we learn that the Irish phrase he said to her at the solstice hasn’t even deeper meaning. I actually came to really care and feel sorry for him. He does something completely unforgivable to Kierce at the end, but at the same time, I kind of understand his mindset. Not a complete monster, but not entirely good either. Graves is a monster who has found his way while Lorcan is one who has lost it. And now, I languish and wait for book 3 😂 ["

"🌳 The Robin on the Oak Throne 🕊 @authorkalinde I just found this series not long ago and quickly devoured the first book. The second release being so close was a DREAM. The very second this book hit my kindle on release day, it was ON. I adore Keirse, a independent, self sufficient bad-as* who made her own family, while doing what she has to to survive. Graves is dark, and broody and mysterious, a book boyfriend for the ages. The slow burn has been absolute torture and let me just tell you, it is WORTH THE WAIT 🥵. The twists are shocking and impeccable, nothing I ever expected and the book is so incredibly well written and crafted. I love the journey of rediscovering her memories, seeing who has been involved and for how long, and all the things that have been hiding for so long. Gen is the best ride or die best friend, and they make the ultimate duo. If you HAVENT checked out this series, you MUST. I even ordered a signed bookplate with how much ive grown to love the author! You will not regret reading this series! #redtowerbooks #entangledpublishing #therobinontheoakthrone ["
