The Wicked King

Author: Holly Black
The Cruel Prince’s follow up book “The Wicked King” by Holly Black is a young adult fantasy-fiction novel which is released on February this year.
After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But when it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.
Holly Black weaves the best tales– the ones where you can’t decide if you love every character, or hate them all. This has that wonderful sense of impending doom, you know the rug is going to get ripped out beneath you and you can’t do anything about it. Can’t wait for the last in the trilogy.
