When Jude Duarte returns to Elfhame, she expects the blood and steel of Madoc's rebellion. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a different kind of snare-a golden cage forged by a High King who refuses to let her slip through his fingers again. But the game changes entirely when a hidden alliance drags her into the freezing, ruthless landscape of the Court of Teeth.
For three agonizing weeks, Jude is forced to play the vacant, mindless doll to survive the malicious, possessive whims of King Erwyne. For two of those weeks, Cardan has to sit across the table and watch, choking on his own aristocratic mask while his Queen is paraded on another man's lap.
Erwyne believes his victory is absolute. He proudly whispers his terrifying promise of a dark, forced legacy: "A single drop of ink transforms a mortal plaything into a permanent fixture of my court-and the mother of my future heirs."
But beneath the sparkling shackles and the silent facade, a deadly countdown is ticking. Jude must give the performance of her life to hide her immunity from the Fae glamour. When the stage is set for a realm-shattering deception, Jude and Cardan will prove that they are more than evenly matched in wits-and that a mortal girl knows exactly how to cut a string.
"You may think we are only good as dolls, but this doll can and will kill you if you ever disrespect her again."
This is a full series rewrite of The Queen of Nothing featuring a fiercely protective Cardan, a master-tactician Jude playing the ultimate double-game, unholy legal paradoxes, and a love that will literally bring the earth crashing down before it yields.
