trilogy.
He will be the destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne
Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. Jude learned
this lesson when she released her control over the wicked king, Cardan,
in exchange for immeasurable power.
Now as the exiled mortal Queen of Faerie, Jude is powerless and left
reeling from Cardan's betrayal. She bides her time determined to
reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of
her deceptive twin sister, Taryn, whose mortal life is in peril.
Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and
confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her
sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude
slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict's
bloody politics.
And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads
throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her
humanity...
