The Wicked King: You must possess the strength to strike repeatedly without being worn out. Making yourself powerful is the first lesson. Jude has to protect her brother after the startling discovery that Oak is the heir of Faerie. She has achieved this by tying the evil Cardan, the king, to her and elevating herself to the position of authority. Even if Cardan were simple to govern, navigating Faerie's ever-changing political relationships would be challenging. But despite his continued fascination with her, he tries everything in his ability to degrade and discredit her.The Cruel Prince: I want to be just like them, of course. They are as exquisite as swords created by a celestial fire. They will live indefinitely. Cardan is even more stunning than the others. I despise him more than anyone else. I despise him so much that I occasionally find it difficult to breathe when I see him. When Jude's parents were killed, her two sisters and she were kidnapped and taken to live in the perilous High Court of Faerie. Jude was seven years old at the time. Jude still longs to fit in there ten years later, despite her impending death. However, many of the fey hate humans. especially Prince Cardan, the High King's youngest and most evil child. The Queen of Nothing: It's far simpler to gain power than it is to keep it. When Jude traded control over the evil king Cardan for unimaginable power, she discovered this lesson. Jude is now helpless and inconsolable as the banished mortal Queen of Faerie as a result of Cardan's treachery. She bides her time with the intention of recovering all he took. Her deceitful twin sister Taryn, whose mortal life is in danger, represents opportunity. If Jude wants to save her sister, she will have to take the risk of returning to the perilous Faerie Court and face her unresolved love for Cardan. But Elfhame is not the same as when she departed.
