The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, Book 1)

For readers 14+ and for an adult audience who love intrigue and dark fairytale worlds.

Graceful and majestic, the fae are otherworldly creatures, beautiful and perfect, like a deadly, finely crafted sword. Yet they are also cunning and cruel, especially towards humankind. Jude knows this because one of them orphaned her and her sisters and took them to the Land of Faerie. She is a mortal who, for ten years, grew up under the care of a murderer in a society where humans are despised and hated. The girl is willing to do anything to find her place in the sun. Even stand up to the bullying of young fae led by Prince Cardan. When Jude's plan fails, another royal heir offers her protection on the eve of changes in the Land of Faerie, but not for free. The flames of a palace coup are about to ignite – and she finds herself at the center of betrayals and intrigues. Not only the fate of Jude and her sisters, but also of the entire Land of Faerie, is at stake. The great game of kings and princes, queens and crowns begins.
