The Folk of the Air is a spellbinding YA fantasy series by Holly Black, bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles and Magisterium.

The books follow the story of Jude Duarte, a mortal girl who is thrust into the world of the Faerie when her parents are murdered. Delivered to Faerie court by their assassin, Jude and her sisters are tormented and mocked by the Faerie royalty. 

As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong. But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . . 

Jude and Carden’s story is one of magic, power, drama and romance that spans three books, and is best for ages 13+. 

The Folk of the Air series needs to be read in order, starting with book one, The Cruel Prince.
