    • After being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watches her fair share of reality television, and does the odd job or two, including trying to convince a cannibalistic faerie from hunting her own in the mortal world. When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking of a favor, Jude jumps at the chance to return to the Faerie world, even if it means facing Cardan, who she loves despite his betrayal. When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and uncover how to break the curse, or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world.

      The second book in the thrilling new fantasy series from New York Times No.1 bestselling author Holly Black.

      The Wicked King
    • It all began with a mysterious letter left for authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black at a small New England bookstore. Written by three siblings, the letter spoke of their great-great-uncle Arthur Spiderwick and an unfinished tome filled with accounts of creatures once thought to be mere legend. In the bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles, readers followed siblings Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace as they faced dwarves, goblins, elves, and a diabolical ogre to protect their uncle's life work. Now, through the efforts of the Grace children and the authors, this long-awaited compendium is presented. It features a thoughtful introduction, six sections detailing thirty-one faerie species, and an addendum with observations from Jared Grace. This comprehensive guide satisfies even the most dedicated faerie enthusiasts, revealing the habits and habitats of fourteen fantastical creatures from the bestselling chapter books, along with an additional seventeen. Readers will also find snippets from Arthur Spiderwick’s personal journal and appearances from beloved series characters. With so much to explore, this book promises to be treasured for generations!
