I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan. But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong. It is the first book in the Folk of the Air series. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black has been reviewed by Focus on the Familys marriage and parenting magazine. One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them.
