His voice is soft, and I make the mistake if looking into his black eyes, at his wicked, curving mouth. 

'But your beauty with fade,' he continues, just as softly, speaking like a lover. 'And all you have and all you are will rot away to nothing. You will be nothing. You are nothing.'

As the exiled mortal Queen of Faerie, Jude is reeling from Cardan's betrayal and is determined to reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of her deceptive twin sister, Taryn, whose life is in peril. Jude must return to the treacherous Faerie Court and confront her lingering feelings for Cardan.

But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing, and she becomes ensnared in the conflict't bloody politics. When a terrible curse is unleashed, panic spreads throughout the land, forcing Jude to choose between her ambition and her humanity...


Last book from the trilogy. This was a constant emotional rollercoaster. Went into the book hating Cardan, but finished the book completely in love with him.

Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars

"Locke is dead." 

I cried. Not because I was sad. No. It was because I was happy. He gave me so much pain during the trilogy I was so glad he was gone. If you don't know what i'm on about then i'd recommend reading the previous two books from the trilogy. 

The best bit about this whole trilogy is how the family were so split in the first book, everyone was in conflict. They had no understanding of each other and their abilities fully. To see everyone getting along and even Heather made a return. I was beyond happy. 

I love spice, and this book served. Even if it was not anything like Twisted Hate level spice. I still got my love story. 

"Jude, you can't really think I don't know it's you. I knew you from the moment you walked into the brugh."  

I felt shivers. My love for Cardan only grew. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between twins, but someone who I thought hated Jude. Exiled her. Knew the difference between her and Taryn. That was my breaking point, that was when I realised he truly loved her. 

To even think Cardan was the bad guy in the other two books makes me look so naive. Nicasia spat straight facts about Cardan. She was an unexpected character for me to like in the end considering I hated her as much as Locke. 

Overall, this book made me feel so many things. The last few chapters were very unexpected, considering I have heard quite a few spoilers about this book. I still found the ending entertaining to read. 

This really makes me want to read Oak's POV and how his life was throughout all of this.
