Blackwood Academy Love
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.Complete
The Exiled Queen
"I've been warned in my ten years in Faerie to never make bargains with the Folk, but I am the one who can lie. The Folk should be warned to never make bargains with me." Takes place right after The Wicked King! Exiled to the mortal world, Jude begins to lose hope of returning to Elfhame. And revenge is not the only thing she seeks, she will stop at nothing to get back what she has earned.

Cruel Love
Set 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? - #1 queenofnothing #2 judexcardan
