Narrative:

Upon level off VFR at 9500 ft, at resetting power from climb (1400 torque) to cruise (1100 torque), the right engine would not respond to throttle movement. The engine was stuck at climb power setting. While I was initially PIC, the other pilot and I traded planes at company request since he had much more time and experience in that type of aircraft. We circled for 30 mins while we consulted with company maintenance and tried various methods to regain throttle control. We finally shut down the right engine by shutting off the condition lever and feathering the propeller, and landed on the left engine only. We declared an emergency per company procedure, but landed without further incident. As of the following day, maintenance had not yet determined the cause of the problem.
