About this ebook

A powerful curse forces the exiled Queen of Faerie to choose between ambition and humanity in this highly anticipated and jaw-dropping finale to The Folk of the Air trilogy from a #1 New York Times bestselling author.

He will be the destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne

Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. Jude learned this lesson when she released her control over the wicked king, Cardan, in exchange for immeasurable power.

Now as the exiled mortal Queen of Faerie, Jude is powerless and left reeling from Cardan's betrayal. She bides her time determined to reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of her twin sister, Taryn, whose life is in peril.

Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict's bloody politics.

And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her humanity . . .

Ratings and reviews

Very fun book to read, but way too short for the price. I know we all got it to see how it ends with Jude and Cardan, but it could definitely be longer, more suspense. But overall this book was quite enjoyable.

Oooooooohhh, I can't say enough about boe this series ended. It ended perfectly. I won't give spoilers, but the schemes, trickery, and plotting is just as true to Holly's first two books. If you did not love Cardan and Jude before, you will buy the end of this book. They compliment each other so well and they scheme the best schemes when standing together. Such a great book and well worth the wait Holly made us have.

One of the best finale's ever. I loved this so, so so much and read it in under 7 hours. I can't even describe what I feel, nor the book, no spoilers here! But.. Cardan and Jude make me want to curl up in a bed and drift into a sleep that's so relaxing, I wouldn't wake up. But when I do, a fire is burning and I smell the sweet smell of breakfast. They're adorable! I could cry. Loved the book. 100/10. Keep writing and reading, people! You'll find amazing books like this. :)
