About the Book

The Cruel Prince is the first book in #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black's stunning Folk of the Air series, a tale of royal faerie intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden desire. Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered before her eyes, and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, despite her mortality, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there. But many of the fey despise humans, none more openly than Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King, whom Jude hates so fiercely she can hardly breathe when she looks at him.

To win a place at Court, Jude must learn to navigate a world built on cruelty, deception, and shifting alliances, one where nice things rarely happen, and when they do, something worse always follows. As she becomes more deeply entangled in palace intrigue and the dangerous games played by Faerie's most powerful figures, Jude discovers her own capacity for trickery, ambition, and bloodshed, forcing her to decide exactly how far she's willing to go, and who she's willing to become, to finally claim a place among the beautiful, deadly people who never wanted her there. Praised by Publishers Weekly as spellbinding, with a jaw-dropping third-act twist, The Cruel Prince kicks off one of the most beloved dark fantasy series in modern YA.
