The Wicked King by Holly Black

Jude Duarte, now the power behind the throne, has secured Prince Cardan as the High King of Elfhame, but holding onto control proves more treacherous than seizing it.

But as her feelings for Cardan grow increasingly complicated, she must determine whether she can truly trust him—or if he is destined to betray her. With masterful storytelling, breathtaking twists, and an intoxicating blend of romance and suspense, The Wicked King is a stunning continuation of The Folk of the Air series that will leave readers spellbound.
