"The Wicked King is so fast-paced and intense, you won't be able to put it down."―The Missourian
- The stunning, enchanting, and bloodthirsty sequel (The Folk of the Air #2) to the New York Times best-selling novel The Cruel Prince...will continue to entice fans of the previous volume.
- You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.
- The first lesson is to make yourself strong.
- It's been five months since the twist ending of The Cruel Prince. After Jude Duarte betrayed her family, killed her mentor, and tricked Cardan into being her puppet King of Elfhame, Jude has realized that seizing power is much easier than holding onto it. Every relationship feels broken or near to it with Madoc, her parents' killer-turned-pseudo stepfather, her twin sister who is engaged to the fairy who toyed with Jude's heart, and most certainly Cardan the Crowned King. There's no time for emotion, let alone sleep, as the Queen of the Undersea is ready to make her move for power and Jude learns someone she trusts had already betrayed her.
- Readers are dropped right into another dark and entrancing tornado of Faerie chaos. Trust, lust, trickery, and deceit swirl through everything as Jude struggles to remain in control of Cardan, the kingdom, and herself. Elfhame is a cruel place but like Jude, teens can't help but be drawn to the flames. The action builds steadily to yet another devilishly cunning twist ending. Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.
