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. I’ll post the synopsis of just the first book, just because I don’t want to give out spoilers just yet: The first book, The Cruel Prince, is followed by The Wicked King, and the story concludes with The Queen of Nothing. She is a human who has grown up in Faerie, which alone is not unusual, but she grows up in the high court of Faerie, a privilege that mere mortals do not get.

The books are told in first person, from the POV of Jude. If I begin by giving a background on the trilogy, it very obviously consists of 3 books (4 including the novella), and we follow the protagonist Jude’s antics in the land of Faerie. I am pleased to say that I breezed through the Folk of Air trilogy as well as the companion book, The Lost Sisters, in the last 4, lets say 5 days. I just literally just now put The Queen of Nothing down as I am writing this review.
