Summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black returns to the world of Faerie in this gorgeously illustrated collection of short stories, where beauty can be monstrous and love can be capricious ...

A reluctant king is thrown into turmoil when the girl he loves to hate is stolen by the Undersea.

An exiled redcap, trapped in the mortal world, must rediscover his inner monster.

A mortal girl sacrifices the other half of herself for an unworthy faerie lover.

A tiny sprite’s determination to prove herself puts the entire High Court in danger.

In this collection, #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black combines her signature wit and lush world-building with stunning full-color art by Frostbite Studios in six irresistible tales that return readers to the world of the Modern Faerie Tales and Elfhame, including two never-before-seen stories: one revealing the interior life of Madoc while in exile and the other featuring the moment that High King Cardan realizes what he most desires.

As a fan of the series, I enjoyed this latest installment so very much. We wanted some of these backstories especially, anything in Cardin’s version. This is a gift to all the Folk of the Air fans out there. I enjoyed it immensely.
And thank you for keeping Caitlyn Kelly - she brought all these characters to life in the original books so it’s such a gift to have her continue it.

Thank you, Holly

This is my absolute favorite series! Getting to see Cardan’s POV was amazing. Would have loved more!

Cardan POV 🖤

A big fan of this trilogy, so I thought this book would be fun to have too. What a disappointment. A short one hour of Cardan’s POV at the end of the book… Before that Teryn’s story- NOBODY CARES ABOUT HER! We’ve already read her POV in lost sisters. No matter how she’s described, she is not likable. And at the very beginning Maddoc’s story. People want more of Jude and Cardan. People want to read his POV, his thoughts. This is not good.
