Experience the Thrilling Conclusion to the Folk of the Air Series with The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

About the Book

The Queen of Nothing is the spellbinding conclusion to Holly Black’s internationally bestselling Folk of the Air trilogy. After being exiled to the mortal world by the High King she once loved, Jude Duarte must navigate life without power, purpose, or the faerie realm she fought so hard to claim. But when a threat emerges that could destroy everything she left behind, Jude is pulled back into the treacherous world of Elfhame—where every alliance is fragile, every promise is a trap, and reclaiming her crown means risking her heart all over again. This is a story of resilience, revenge, and the fierce determination of a girl who refuses to be forgotten.

From the Back Cover

“After being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watching reality television and doing odd jobs, including squaring up to a cannibalistic faerie. When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking for help, Jude must return to the treacherous High Court of Elfhame. But Cardan is in trouble, and Jude will have to risk everything to save him—and Faerie itself.”
