rejoice in every dark, luscious moment."--Kirkus
Praise for The Cruel Prince:
"Lush, dangerous, a dark jewel of a book. Black's world is
intoxicating, imbued with a relentless sense of peril that kept me
riveted through every chapter of Jude's journey. And Jude! She is a

story will seduce you and leave you desperate for just one more

deadly romance, double-crossing, moral complexity--this is one heck
of a ride."--Booklist, starred review

review

more intrigue and passion still to come."--Booklist, starred
