Fierce and observant Jude is utterly unaware of the currents that swirl around her. Black’s latest looks at nature and nurture and spins a tale of court intrigue, bloodshed, and a truly messed-up relationship that might be the saving of Jude and the titular prince, who, like Jude, has been shaped by the cruelties of others.
Brought up among the Gentry, Jude has never felt at ease, but after a decade, Faerie has become her home despite the constant peril.
Human Jude (whose brown hair curls and whose skin color is never described) both hates and loves Madoc, whose murderous nature is true to his Faerie self and who in his way loves her. Jude-broken, rebuilt, fueled by anger and a sense of powerlessness-has never recovered from watching her adoptive Faerie father murder her parents. Heart-stopping action and intrigue from cover to cover.īlack is back with another dark tale of Faerie, this one set in Faerie and launching a new trilogy. Rue grapples with her sense of community, family, and duty despite the size of her foes and fears, she never stops fighting for justice. The tough realities of living in an underserved community fortify Rue against great odds but also influence her reluctance to accept kindness and support. Debut author Elle’s characters shine with determination and heart. Everything seems to be going well until a man with a snake tattoo on his neck offers Tasha a ride to school and a series of events unfolds that threatens Rue’s world and may change Ghizon forever. Despite being immersed in this world of wonder, nothing can replace a sister: Rue breaks the rules and travels back to Houston to see Tasha. Rue struggles to assimilate to a magic-filled world, but her new friend Bri accepts her and gives her an understanding of Ghizoni culture. Tasha is living with her father back in Houston while Rue finds herself off the coast of Madagascar on the hidden island of Ghizon with her previously absent father, Aasim. After their mother dies in a senseless shooting, Rue and her 12-year-old sister, Tasha, are separated. The last year has been a jarring sequence of events for 17-year-old African American Rue. A teenage girl is whisked away from the only home and family she knows to a hidden land of magic and secrets.
