Fall in love with the story from the perspective of the mysterious King of Elfhame

Discover a gripping tale that complements and enriches the world known from the Folk of the Air series. This book is not only a collector's item thanks to its beautiful full-colour illustrations, but also an emotional journey into the depths of King Cardan's mind and heart.

Before Cardan became the cruel prince and the enigmatic king known from Holly Black's Folk of the Air trilogy, he was just a faerie child with a stone where his heart should be. This beautifully illustrated story reveals unexpected details of his life that we know from earlier books, but are now told exclusively from his perspective. Readers will get a new view on tense moments, danger, romance and humour, all underlined by a striking visual presentation that makes this book a perfect addition to any collection, both for new fans and for those who already know and love the world of Elfhame.

This tale is the perfect opportunity to return to a magical world that fills you with excitement and emotion, and to learn the secrets Cardan kept.
