Synopsis

This illustrated companion to Holly Black's Folk of the Air trilogy retells and expands the story from the perspective of Cardan, the high king of Elfhame. Organized into chapters that move from his childhood, before he became a cruel prince or a wicked king, through the events of the trilogy seen from his side, and into scenes set after The Queen of Nothing, it pairs each chapter with full-color illustrations.
