My mind came back to The Cruel Prince as soon as I read the prologue of Prisoner's Throner – I call it "The Power of Holly Black."

Small theory on Oriana's wings in The Prisoner's Throne. Oriana didn't have them in TCP and expressed longing for them.

In TWK Jude mentioned a trinket made by Grimsen which allows the wearer to summon wings and fly.

Now in TPT Oriana's wings are described as "petallike wings" which doesn't exclude the trinket being the same. Even if it's not the same trinket, it could have still been something Jude had given to Oriana at some point.
