For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings…until she learns that the love of her life will marry another. Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing. But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game—and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged.

Prince Oak is paying for his betrayal. Imprisoned in the icy north and bound to the will of a monstrous new queen, he must rely on charm and calculation to survive. With High King Cardan and High Queen Jude willing to use any means necessary to retrieve their stolen heir, Oak will have to decide whether to attempt regaining the trust of the girl he’s always loved or to remain loyal to Elfhame and hand over the means to end her reign—even if it means ending Wren, too.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Publisher's summary
An irresistible return to the captivating world of Elfhame from best-selling Folk of the Air author Holly Black.
Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue.
Before Cardan was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone. In this sumptuously illustrated tale, Holly Black reveals a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame's enigmatic high king. This tale includes delicious details of life before The Cruel Prince, an adventure beyond The Queen of Nothing, and familiar but pivotal moments from The Folk of the Air trilogy, told wholly from Cardan's perspective.
This new instalment in the Folk of the Air series is a return to the heart-racing romance, danger, humour and drama that enchanted listeners everywhere.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A lovely tale
The story of Beloved King Cardan is lovely and sad as the character himself. Love to hear little more about Cardan’s adventures and childhood, also, see inside his mind and a bit more about Jude and Cardan relationship.

disappointed
iam obsessed with jude and cardan and the cruel prince trioligy the told stories are just sooo small soo small and some are dull that I really donot care about i wished Holly focused on more significant points in the triology jude and cardan moments barely exist ok the illustrations are beautiful but I expected waaaay more waaay more so the only thing that made these 2 hours and 48 minutes bearable is the narrator who deserves an Oscar for the whole performance through out the series so thank you caitlin u r the best of the best .......

Physical read & audio review
“Some might think of him as a strong draught, burning the back of one's throat, but invigorating all the same.
You might beg to differ.
So long as you’re begging, he doesn’t mind a bit.”
I had a stack of books I planned / hoped to read this month, and because I completely forgot about pre-ordering this book it was not on my list.
Did I ditch my entire tbr the moment it arrived? Yes, yes I did!
Holly has a way of captivating me completely. I zoned out and devoured this in one quick sitting.
I loved the flow and the direction the story went in. It was nice to get an insight into Cardan, not just as he is now but as he was growing up.
I didn’t think it was possible to fall even more in love with Cardan, but alas, it has happened.
I loved everything - and the illustrations added an extra touch of magic to this beautiful story.
I’m so glad I own a copy of this book, it will definitely be one I reread often.
“You didn’t hear the story I told,” he goes on. “A shame. It featured a handsome boy with a heart of stone and a natural aptitude for villainy. Everything you could like.”
Reread: April 1st
"A heart of stone can still be broken."
I decided to give the audio a try after a recommendation and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love how it was read, it added a little something extra to something I was already familiar with, and I love that.

Good Narrator and a good little story. It is very short so I wouldn't recommend to spend a token on this one. But I listened to this through the included catalogue so it made it worth it.

🤍
I love the series so much & it is always great.. but this novella in my own opinion sounded very repetitive except for the last chapter.
I believe it could have been added to the *queen of nothing* & it would have been great.
I will always enjoy anything related to these characters, but this is merely repeating what we know about cardan & Jude + what happened after they became rulers. I really expected more details about his character than this.
the narrator is great as usual💕

Great short book
It has the same enchanted fairy tale like tone as the other books in the series, more so actually as we follow Cardan from childhood and get to understand a little better why he was the way he was. Loved it. Great performance, Caitlin is exceptionally talented at narrating fairy tales.

Holly and Kelly slay
Holly Black and Caitlin Kelly are both masters of story telling. Holly Black draws the reader back into the beautiful, wicked world of Elfhame with these stunning new tales that give new depth to our beloved King and Queen. And Caitlin Kelly! she could narrate a recipe book and turn it into an epic read that I would happily devour. Her voice breathes life into the words. 10/10

Lacklustre in parts but Caitlin Kelly made it enjoyable.
I didn't like Cardan's backstory much. I felt like there could have been more details, it was saddening that the book was lacklustre. The ending was the only saving grace for the book in my opinion.
Now, I do understand why fans love this story but at the end of the day, I had a different expectation going into it.
Not a bad book at all, but it doesn't add much to the Folk of the Air series.
I would have dnf this book if I didn’t listen to it.

Excellent YA fantasy book
Excellent narration
A captivating and original book. Interesting main characters with a good balance of strengths and flaws.
Good worldbuilding, a detailed plot with unexpected twists, and refreshing characters that don't follow traditional YA tropes.
Less romance than expected but it set up brilliantly for an organic enemies to lovers plot in the next book.

Such good stories - such little time
I love this book, really, I do. However, unfortunately, its not as long as I want it to be. I suggest that, if you want it, get it. I love it. Beautiful illustrations, and the narration, well, someone give Caitlin a prize! It's a delightful listenm and does give some nice input on Cardans past, and how he grew up the way he grew up to be. Yes, there are less Jude and Carden stories than some wanted, but I do think that its definatly still worth the listen, or read.
So its up to you, really.
