About this listen
The enchanting and bloodthirsty sequel to the New York Times best-selling novel The Cruel Prince.
You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring. The first lesson is to make yourself strong.
After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked King Cardan to her and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.
When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.

Critic reviews
"A stunning and compelling sequel." (SLJ, starred review)
"The Wicked King has satisfying twists and turns, sizzling passions, brutal violence, spies and revels of all sorts - no one brings the intricate courtly politics of Faerie to life quite as well, or with as much intelligence, as Holly Black." (Shelf Awareness, starred review)
"A heady blend of courtly double-crossing, Faerie lore, and toxic attraction swirls together in the sequel to THE CRUEL PRINCE.... Black's writing is both contemporary and classic; her world is, at this point, intensely well-realized, so that some plot twists seem almost inevitable." (Kirkus, starred review)

Arwen Valondale never expected to be the brave one, offering her life to save her brother’s. Now she’s been taken prisoner by the most dangerous kingdom on the continent, and made to use her rare magical abilities to heal the soldiers of the vicious Onyx King. Arwen knows better than to face the ancient, wicked woods that surround the castle on her own, which means working with a fellow prisoner might be her only path to freedom. Unfortunately, he’s as infuriating as he is cunning—and seems to take twisted pleasure in playing on Arwen’s deepest fears.

I truly hope that you don’t take a year to publish the next book in the series. I knew in my mind that he would do something but I didn’t think he would choose exile.

I love this series! But readers be warned! It ends on a horrible cliff hanger! The author does a great job telling the story and keeping the reader on the edge of their seat.
