For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black, swoonworthy romance and a dark fairy tale world await in the twist-filled conclusion to the Thirstwood trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Elly Blake.
Carefree Rozenna has grown up sheltered from the harsh realities of the war that has ravaged her Thirstwood home. But when she is kidnapped by a group of rogue mages, she must depend on her own wits and strength for the first time in her life. An orphaned naiad named Roan emerges as an unlikely ally—he’s unable to resist Rozie’s bubbly nature and boundless curiosity, just as she finds herself drawn to the first person to see her for herself. As a dangerous, out-of-control magic tears their world apart, Rozie must decide whether to trust Roan and her own nascent powers, which could be her people’s only hope.

Book Club Guide
- How are authenticity and being true to oneself explored as themes in The Forest King’s Daughter? What are some ways characters ignore their own needs for others’ approval?
- How does the forest act as a character in the book? Thirstwood has “blood trees” with the ability to trap intruders. Can you find more examples that show the trees are alert or aware of what’s going on?
- In the prologue, when the Dracu queen declares war, the Sylvan king says, “At last” (p. 9). What does this say about his character, and what other examples can you find that reinforce that character trait?
- In what ways do Cassia and Zeru discover they were wrong about each other? How does Zeru help Cassia begin to question her role and identity?
- Why do the other forest folk rely on the Sylvans to protect them? Which is your favorite type of forest folk and why?
- Along with the Dracu, there are different types of folk who live underground. Which type of Azpian did you want to hear more about and why?
- When Zeru gives Cassia the ring, it starts a war between the Dracu and the Sylvans. What are some other examples of actions that lead to unintended consequences?
- In Welkincaster, Cassia finds the ring has a power she didn’t know about. What does she discover about herself when she uses this new ability?
- Cassia undergoes a transformation later in the story. Though that change is difficult for her, how does she come to accept and even thrive in her new form?
- How do the secondary characters help or hinder Cassia in her goals?
- Villains usually don’t see themselves as the bad guys. How do the novel’s antagonists reveal that they feel justified in their actions?
- Cassia has a strong bond with her sisters. In what ways is she similar or different from her sisters? What could she learn from each of them? What could they learn from her?
- Some of the quotes at the beginning of chapters are advice or commentary. For example, Gaxix the Dracu philosopher claims, “Sylvans have no sense of history. They live in the present, flitting among flowers and sipping morning dew” (p. 80). Are these claims always accurate? What could be some reasons why the Sylvans and Dracu have inaccurate ideas about each other?
- Sylvans don’t lie. Or do they? Are there examples of Sylvans finding ways to bend or skirt the truth?
