Of course I want to be like them . They ' re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire . They will live forever .
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest . I hate him more than all the others . I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him , I can hardly breathe .
Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie . Ten years later , Jude wants nothing more than to belong there , despite her mortality . But many of the fey despise humans . Especially Prince Cardan , the youngest and wickedest son of the High King .
To win a place at the Court , she must defy him--and face the consequences .
In doing so , she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions , discovering her own capacity for bloodshed . But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence , Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters , and Faerie itself .
