The Wicked King (full Book) By Holly Black Apr 2026

Picking up five months after the events of the first book, Jude has successfully engineered a coup that placed Prince Cardan Greenbriar on the throne. However, Cardan is a puppet king; Jude has bound him to her service for a year and a day, making her the secret seneschal and true ruler of the kingdom.

Queen Orlagh of the Undersea issues a chilling ultimatum, threatening war if her demands for a marriage alliance between Cardan and her daughter, Nicasia, are not met.

Jude is warned that someone close to her has already betrayed her, leading to a climate of extreme paranoia.

Her foster father, Madoc, remains a dangerous rival, while her twin sister, Taryn, seeks a path to power through marriage to the manipulative Locke. Go to product viewer dialog for this item. The Wicked King
