Publisher Description
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 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.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST
I struggled with getting invested in the first book and debated even buying the second... i do NOT regret it. This is so much better, i didn't even realize i finished the book UNTIL I DID. bought the 3rd alrwsdy 🙏🙏
ouch
so painfully good.
Again, Great Cliffhanger
So the King wasn’t Wicked, so much as not great at his job.
The interesting relationship dynamics remain. A really great part is when Jude says to her foster dad, “You aren’t my father. You are the murderer of my father,” and he replies, “I am both.”
Spoiler: I like how she felt a sense of responsibility for her Cardanthough and that she trusted him in the end.
I loved how they got together, and the cliffhanger was pretty great.
