This exclusive edition contains deleted scenes sure to delight fans and give them a special peek into the world of Faerie!

The enchanting and bloodthirsty sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel The Cruel Prince.

You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.

The first lesson is to make yourself strong.

After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.

When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.

4.5 Way To Leave Me Hanging Ms Black
ARGUH ! Dirty rotten author tricked me. Well played Ms Black Well Played. I never saw that ending coming, not a hint. I finished it an hour ago and I'm still steaming and fuming at all of the characters. The story followed a semi predictable path till the last 1/8 then it went off the charts into......

2.0 [REVIEW] The Wicked King by Holly Black
Right after finishing itI don’t know how to rate this. I’m not sure if I loved it (which is possible because I swallowed it in less than 24 hours) or if I hated it (THAT ENDING WTF). I need to think. Unpopular Opinion Time~I'm more inclined to believe that I... hated it? Cardan (lbr the real reaso...
