The Cruel Prince by Holly Black is the #1 New York Times bestselling first book in the Folk of the Air trilogy that has become a global phenomenon on BookTok. Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans â especially Prince Cardan, the cruelest and wickedest of them all. To win a place at court, Jude must risk everything in a dangerous game of betrayal and power. Dark, romantic, and utterly addictive fantasy.
