Praise for The Cruel Prince:
“Lush, dangerous, a dark jewel of a book. Black’s world is intoxicating, imbued with a relentless sense of peril that kept me riveted through every chapter of Jude’s journey. And Jude!

This delicious story will seduce you and leave you desperate for just one more page.”―Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom

“This is a heady blend of Faerie lore, high fantasy, and high school drama, dripping with description that brings the dangerous but tempting world of Faerie to life. Black is building a complex mythology; now is a great time to tune in.”―Kirkus Reviews
