In this companion novella to the New York Times bestselling novel The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, sometimes the only  difference between a love story and a horror story is where the ending comes …

While Jude fought for power in the Court of Elfhame against the cruel Prince Cardan, her sister Taryn began to fall in love with the trickster Locke. 

Half-apology and half-explanation—it turns out that Taryn has some secrets of her own to reveal.

From NOVL Nation

“Trust is a dangerous thing to play with in this world, and the weight of it isn’t light. There is so much depth to the politics in The Cruel Prince that, to me, it felt like a real place.”

—Shelby, A Bookish Fangirl

“The Cruel Prince is now my new current obsession, I’m going to be rereading this again before the end of the year, I’m going to be tumblr-ing on it every single day until the sequel comes out. I’m going to be talking about this book until the end of my existence, I’m going to be still be talking about this book even when my bones in the grave turns to star dusts. That’s how much I adore this book.”

—Chia, Sincerely Chia

“High fantasy—beautiful fairies included—court intrigue, enemies to lovers, deception, scheming, plotting and betrayals. A frankly unexpected amount of blood and death and an amazing FMC. Need I give you any more reasons to drop everything and go read this book?”

– Antonella, multicoloredbookreviews.home.blog
