The enchanting and bloodthirsty sequel to the New York Times
bestselling novel The Cruel Prince.
*You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without
tiring.
The first lesson is to make yourself strong.
*After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude
must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked
king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne.
Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would
be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does
everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his
fascination with her remains undiminished.
When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray
her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude
must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for
Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.
