When Jude's sister gets caught up in suspicious business with Flame members, an evil organization set to get Cardan off the throne (and Balekin on it), everything turns on its head- -and Jude and Cardan might be hiding secrets of their own.. from each other. ((these characters are owned by Holly Black)) Title inspired by the song: imgonnagetyouback by taylor swift

A Fanfiction on the book series "Folk of the Air Series" by Holly Black. This is a completely fictional story, and no hatred towards the writer too.

She is all I can think about. Her round ears, her blunt fingers,the roundness that echoes in her cheek and mouth. l can't stop it, and it's disgusting. Prince Cardan, the sixth born of King Eldred, is cruel and heartless in others eyes. But this is his side of the twisted story. Cardan is is always pushed to his limits, making him a ruthless monster. Playing the villain is the only thing he has ever really expelled at. Until a mortal girl, Jude, steps in his life. Things get complicated, making his world turn upside down

When Jude Duarte and her twin sister transfer to Blackwood Academy - an elite private school for the children of the rich, powerful, and morally questionable - she expects drama, not danger. But one smirk from Cardan Greenbriar changes everything. Cardan is arrogant, magnetic, and untouchable. The golden boy of Blackwood - heir to a criminal empire disguised as wealth and privilege. Jude should hate him. She does hate him. Until hate starts to feel a little too much like attraction. But Blackwood isn't just a school; it's a battleground. Beneath its polished marble halls and fencing blades lie family secrets, blood ties, and quiet wars fought between CEOs and mob bosses. And Jude's father, who claims to be "military," might just be one of the worst of them. When a brutal betrayal exposes Jude to the darkness her father tried to hide - and a rival family sets its sights on her as the perfect pawn - she and Cardan are forced to choose: destroy each other, or burn the world down together. Loyalties will snap. Lines will blur. And in a place where love is as dangerous as violence - the only rule is don't get caught bleeding. All rights of the characters go to Holly Black - the author of The Cruel Prince series.

She perfected the art of hating him - until she forgot her lines. Jude Duarte doesn't lose. Not in arguments, not in auditions, and definitely not to the academy's resident golden boy, Cardan Greenbriar. He's infuriatingly talented, irritatingly charming, and for reasons she can't explain, always in her way. When the casting list goes up and her name lands right beneath his, she's forced into her worst nightmare - playing his love interest in the Academy's biggest production. The universe, or maybe the drama teacher, is clearly plotting against her. She tells herself it's fine, that she can fake it, that she's trained for this - to act, to stay composed, to win. But pretending to love him onstage is starting to feel dangerously close to real. Because offstage, he's still smug, yet he's the only person that could ever make her question her morals, her focus, her control. He's the last person she should want, but she finds herself breaking the one rule she'd set for herself: never let Cardan Greenbriar think he's won. Every line, every stolen glance that last way too long for her liking, feels like losing control. She might be falling for him, but in true Jude fashion, she'll never say it out loud. If love is a performance, this might be the one role she can't afford to get wrong.

Jude and Carden have to sail the sea's to make sure the borders of Elfhame are secure, it's the kings and queen's job to protect their kingdom, even before their own knights, but Jude has a secret, one that might be the death of her on this trip, Will her mortality finally catch up to her?
