In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie.
I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. They will live forever.Īnd Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. Sourced from Amazon, based on the first book’s plot. When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and break the curse, or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world.I’m thrilled to bring my second review to you after devouring the Folk of the Air series by Holly Black! The books (in order) are The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, and The Queen of Nothing. When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking a favour, Jude jumps at the chance to return to the Faerie world, even if it means facing Cardan, who she loves despite his betrayal. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watching reality television, and doing odd jobs, including squaring up to a cannibalistic faerie. Īfter being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear. As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal. One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. The Queen of Nothing (The Folk of the Air Book 3) The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air Book 2) The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air Book 1)
