Even though humans are despised by most fair folk, Jude has grown to love this dark and magical realm and longs to become a knight like her adoptive father.

When a horrific betrayal threatens to destroy her world, Jude will find out how far she is willing to go to make things right. This wicked and wonderful tale will ensnare you. Jude is brave and brutal as she fights not to be corrupted while fighting to the death to make the fairy realm better. As the lines between right and wrong begin to blur, Black makes the reader question what truly makes someone good or evil. Black knows how to create characters that grip you and a plot that will shock you. I can't wait to read the upcoming book in the series, The Wicked King, to see what new dark twists will happen. Highly recommended!
