The Cruel Prince Jude has spent the last decade scheming her way into the heart of Faerie's treacherous High Court, determined to prove herself worthy despite being deliciously, dangerously human in a world of immortal fey. When she catches the attention of Prince Cardan—beautiful, wicked, and absolutely infuriating—their clash becomes the stuff of court legend, full of barbed wit, dangerous games, and an electric tension that'll have you rereading scenes. As Jude discovers just how far she's willing to go to claim her place, she'll need to navigate deadly politics, shocking betrayals, and an alliance that could either save Faerie or destroy it entirely. This is dark fantasy romance at its finest—morally gray characters, lush worldbuilding, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dynamic that will absolutely consume you.
