NEW ARRIVALS: The Folk of the Air Series by Holly Black

New arrivals to our library will take you on an enchanting journey into the world of Faerie in Holly Black’s captivating series, The Folk of the Air. This trilogy consists of The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, and The Queen of Nothing.

The Cruel Prince introduces us to Jude Duarte, a mortal girl living in the treacherous world of Faerie and follows her somewhat dangerous journey throughout the series.
