16 parts Ongoing MatureSet after The Cruel Prince, by Holly Black, this fanfic follows the relationship between Jude and Cardan, who have a love-hate relationship.
There are many things wrong with the new reigning King, he's an alcoholic, doesn't care about ruling, and an overall asshole, but no matters, because Jude is the one in control.
Jude never thought she'd be able to pull this off, she's successfully tricked Cardan into taking his place on the throne, until Oak comes of age. She is amazed with her own planning!
But what happens when Cardan becomes not all so keen on being pushed around and manipulated. What will happen when the year and a day is up? What is to come of Jude Duarte then?
While her twin, Taryn, is married to Loke, Jude's ex-boyfriend, causing the highest of tensions between the two, and the eldest sister, Vivi, just trying to settle and reset the peaceful sister trio.
Oak, Vivi and Heather are all living in the mortal world, while Madoc an Oriana are trying to find Oak, as Madoc wants to use him to get to the throne, no matter how long that will have to wait.
While Oriana just wants her son back. She misses him so much.
Balkin has teamed up with the undersea and wants Nicasia to marry Cardan(like in The Wicked King) once again, for access to the throne. Orlagh, Nicasia's mother, is a ticking time bomb, as she threatens to cast war on the land.
All of this is going on while Jude is ruling Elfhame from behind Cardan, causing her to stand ring on the edge of her sanity.
She knows that the only help she's going to get is from The Court of Shadows, which is made up of The Roach, The Ghost and The Bomb. As well as Cardan, but he won't help her... will he?
