The Cruel Prince

Jude was only seven when her parents were murdered and she and her sisters were taken to the dangerous world of Faerie. Raised among creatures who are beautiful, immortal, and cruel, Jude has spent the last ten years trying to carve out a place for herself in a court that will never let her forget she is human.

But belonging in Faerie is not easy. Many of the Folk look down on mortals, and none seem to hate Jude more than Prince Cardan, the youngest and most vicious son of the High King.

If Jude wants power, respect, and a future in the High Court, she will have to do more than survive his cruelty. She will have to defy him.

But every act of defiance pulls her deeper into a world of secrets, betrayal, and political games where beauty hides violence and every smile may be a threat. As tensions rise and civil war looms over the Courts of Faerie, Jude discovers just how far she is willing to go — and how dangerous she can become.

To protect her sisters and survive the deadly games of Faerie, Jude may have to make an alliance with the very people she should fear most.

Perfect for readers who love cruel princes, deadly courts, political intrigue, morally gray characters, enemies-to-lovers tension, and heroines who refuse to kneel.
