The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air #2)

Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto.

The intoxicating stakes grow even higher in The Wicked King, the heart-pounding sequel to The Cruel Prince. Jude has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her obedience, making her the power behind the throne. But navigating the politics of Faerie is a deadly game. As a world-shaking civil war looms and betrayal threatens those she loves, Jude must decide how far she is willing to go to maintain control in a world where nothing is as it seems. The crown is heavy, and the secrets are even deadlier.
