Mock me all you like, whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips. By you, I am forever undone
Jude was exiled as a mortal Queen of Faerie back to the mortal world with the threat of execution if she ever returned without approval from the throne. Jude feels powerless and left reeling from Cardan’s betrayal. Biding her time and determined to reclaim everything he took from her she is seething and waiting for a chance to return. As angry as she is, she longs to see Cardan because she loves him regardless of how cruel he has been. When her twin sister, Taryn comes to the mortal world to ask her for a favor that could save her life, she has the chance to return home. Can she fool everyone into thinking she is Taryn? Can she fool Cardan?
For the sake of her twin, Jude risks venturing back to the Faerie Court and confronts her lingering feelings for Cardan. Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing and her father is in the heart of it. As Jude slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict’s bloody politics and her love for Cardan. A powerful curse is unleashed, and panic spreads throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and humanity and the only male she truly loves.
