Publisher's Summary
An intoxicating and bloodthirsty sequel to the New York Times best-selling The Cruel Prince, nominated for the Cilip Carnegie Medal 2019.
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed.
Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all....

Couldn't stop listening!
I loved this book, and I love the Folk of the Air series. Holly Black is an exquisite story teller. This book is an action packed "page-turner", written with vivid imagery and intrigue. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Loved this
I struggled with the first book in the series but this second one has reignited my interest. I finished this audiobook in one sitting because I was enjoying it too much to stop. Can’t wait to read the next book

Great Plot Twists
You can never fully trust anyone’s motives and the constant trickery makes for fantastic plot twists

***Brilliant***
This book is dark and decadently delicious, it makes me shiver with delight. The world and character building is brilliant as the twist and betrayals, murders. Poor Jude she is too busy controlling everything that she forgot she is only mortal which has weakness and that King Cardan took advantage off. I hate cliff Hangers but it will be worth it to wait for Jude's revenge. Caitlyn can't do no wrong she is fantastic.
