The Cruel Prince by Holly Black is the explosive first book in The Folk of the Air trilogy — a dark and immersive fantasy about a mortal girl navigating a world ruled by cruel and cunning faeries.

When Jude was seven, she and her sisters were stolen away to the High Court of Faerie after witnessing her parents’ murder. Though mortal, Jude grows up in the treacherous world of Faerie and longs to belong, no matter what it takes. But many of the fey despise humans — especially the arrogant Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.

To win her place at court, Jude must defy him and face a dangerous game of politics, betrayal, and bloodshed. But as she becomes more deeply entangled in palace intrigues and power plays, she uncovers her own capacity for trickery and violence.

This is a gripping tale of survival, ambition, and unexpected twists — perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, and Six of Crows.
