Summary
Jude Duarte is the High Queen of Faerie, but few people know that. Married in secret then banished to the mortal realm, Jude has to find her footing again. She knows what she wants. She wants retribution. She wants what is rightfully hers. She wants a few other things she shouldn't want.
More than anything, she wants to go back.
But before she can return to Faerie, its High King finds her. And neither Jude nor the rest of the world is entirely prepared for Cardan.

Summary
"What makes you think I'd want to go back after everything that happened? I've been here for months, and this place has actually grown on me. My life is here now." Jude says, looking me square in the eyes.
Oh, I know this game. I am the champion of this game- no contenders. She's not fooling anyone but herself.
"So you won't mind then if I just left now?" I challenge. "Once I'm gone you're on your own. Are you willing to risk that?"
"I am."
I lean on close to her and contemplate leaving her with a parting gift—to remind her who she’s turning her back on. Perhaps she’ll hate me more than she did when I removed her from her home.
Takes place after The Wicked King. Jude is exiled to the mortal world, forced out of her life and her home in Faerie, and things are not as they seem...
These are not necessarily my exact predictions of where Queen of Nothing will pick up when it comes out next year, but there are elements to this story that I think could play a huge role in the third book in the series. And I'm obsessed with Jude and Cardan's dynamic, so I can't not write about them. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Of course, everything belongs to the enchanting Holly Black.
