Jude era solo una bimba quando i suoi genitori furono brutalmente assassinati. Fu allora che sia lei che le sue sorelle vennero rapite e condotte nel profondo della foresta, nel mondo magico.

Ma le creature che le stanno intorno disprezzano gli umani. E in particolare li disprezza il principe Cardan, il figlio più giovane e crudele del Sommo Re.
Per ottenere un posto a corte, perciò, Jude sarà costretta a scontrarsi proprio con lui, e nel farlo, a mano a mano che si ritroverà invischiata negli intrighi e negli inganni di palazzo, scoprirà la sua propensione naturale per l’inganno e gli spargimenti di sangue. Quando però si affaccia all’orizzonte il pericolo di una guerra civile che potrebbe far sprofondare la corte in una spirale di violenza, Jude non ha esitazioni. Per salvare il mondo in cui vive è pronta a rischiare il tutto per tutto.

Book of Night (Book of Night, #1)
Holly Black
Holly Black makes her adult debut with Book of Night, a modern dark fantasy of shadowy thieves and secret societies.
In Charlie Hall’s world, shadows can be altered, for entertainment and cosmetic preferences—but also to increase power and influence. You can alter someone’s feelings—and memories—but manipulating shadows has a cost, with the potential to take hours or days from your life. Your shadow holds all the parts of you that you want to keep hidden—a second self, standing just to your left, walking behind you into lit rooms. And sometimes, it has a life of its own.
Charlie is a low-level con artist, working as a bartender while trying to distance herself from the powerful and dangerous underground world of shadow trading. She gets by doing odd jobs for her patrons and the naive new money in her town at the edge of the Berkshires. But when a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie’s present life is thrown into chaos, and her future seems at best, unclear—and at worst, non-existent. Determined to survive, Charlie throws herself into a maelstrom of secrets and murder, setting her against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, shadow thieves, and her own sister—all desperate to control the magic of the shadows.

Uma nova aventura se inicia em Elfhame! O príncipe Oak já não é mais apenas o irmãozinho de Jude. Agora ele é um jovem adulto em busca das próprias batalhas e paixões. Não por acaso, seu caminho se cruza novamente com o de Suren, a pequena rainha da Corte dos Dentes, que um dia já foi sua prometida.
Os dois parecem destinados a se encontrar em épocas conturbadas. Dessa vez, Lady Nore, da Corte dos Dentes, tomou posse da Cidadela da Agulha de Gelo, e usa uma antiga relíquia para criar monstros de graveto, neve e carne para realizar suas vontades e ajudá-la em sua vingança.
A única que pode é Suren, filha de Lady Nore e única pessoa com o poder necessário para comandá-la. No entanto, a menina fugiu para o mundo dos humanos, onde vive como uma selvagem na floresta, solitária e assombrada pelos traumas vivenciados na Corte dos Dentes.
Ela acredita que sua existência já foi esquecida, até que Bogdana, a bruxa da tempestade, surge em seu encalço. Por sorte, Suren (ou melhor, Wren) é salva por ninguém menos que o herdeiro de Elfhame, que aos dezessete anos se tornou um jovem extremamente belo, charmoso e... manipulador.
Oak está em uma missão que o levará até a Cidadela da Agulha de Gelo e precisará da ajuda de Suren, mas, caso a jovem aceite, sua primeira tarefa será proteger o próprio coração dos sentimentos que um dia já nutriu pelo príncipe.

Holly Black
Charlie Hall nunca encontrou um cadeado que não pudesse abrir, um livro que não pudesse roubar ou uma decisão ruim que não fosse tomar. Tendo passado metade da vida trabalhando para sombristas, pessoas com magia para manipular sombras a fazerem o que quisessem — espiar quartos trancados, estrangular pessoas em suas camas ou coisa ainda pior —, ela aprendeu como se tornar a ladra perfeita.
Os sombristas guardam muito bem seus mistérios, gerando um mercado clandestino de artefatos e segredos. E para conseguir o que querem, eles precisam de Charlie Hall, ou melhor, de suas habilidades. Mas além de saber que é melhor não se envolver muito com o mundo das sombras, ela agora é uma nova mulher. E nesta versão é apenas uma bartender tentando pagar as contas no fim do mês.
Porém, se livrar da própria história não é assim tão fácil. E quando uma figura terrível de seu passado retorna, Charlie se vê em um turbilhão de assassinatos e mentiras. Seu futuro parece, na melhor das hipóteses, incerto, e, na pior, inexistente. E se quiser sobreviver, precisará enfrentar até mesmo as pessoas que mais ama no mundo — todos tentando roubar um segredo que lhes dará um poder vasto e terrível.

Toen Jude zeven was, kwam er een vreemde man langs: een man met gekke kleren, puntige oren en een donderstem. Voor Jude wist wat er gebeurde, haalde hij een zwaard tevoorschijn en vermoordde daarmee haar ouders. Jude en haar zusjes moesten met hem mee, ver weg naar het elfenland Elfhame.
Tien jaar later is Jude een opstandige jonge vrouw. Ze heeft het zwaar in Elfhame: ze wordt gediscrimineerd om haar menselijke afkomst en soms zelfs bedreigd. De arrogante prins Cardan is het ergst van allemaal, dus waarom krijgt ze het altijd zo warm als hij in de buurt is? Het tij keert als Jude door Cardans broer, kroonprins Dain, wordt ingeschakeld als spion. Naarmate haar spionnentraining vordert, krijgt ze meer zelfvertrouwen en maakt ze nieuwe vrienden.

الملك الشرير (The Folk of the Air, #2)
Holly Black
You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.
The first lesson is to make yourself that strong.
Jude has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were biddable. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.
When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a faerie 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.

Regina fără regat
Holly Black
Puterea este mult mai ușor de dobândit decât de păstrat – iată o lecție pe care Jude a învățat-o când a renunțat la controlul asupra regelui malefic, Cardan, în schimbul unei puteri nemăsurate.
Acum, când este Regina muritoare și exilată a Tărâmului Zânelor, Jude e lipsită de putere și devastată de trădarea lui Cardan. Așteaptă răbdătoare momentul în care să-i ceară înapoi tot ce a luat de la ea. Iar oportunitatea se ivește în persoana înșelătoarei sale surori, a cărei viață de muritoare este în primejdie. Ca să o salveze, Jude trebuie să se aventureze în periculoasa Curte a Zânelor și să dea piept cu sentimentele pe care le are de ceva vreme pentru Cardan.
Dar Regatul Elfhame nu mai este așa cum l-a lăsat. Un război e pe cale să izbucnească și Jude este prinsă în intrigile sângeroase ale acestui conflict. Iar când un blestem vechi și puternic se dezlănțuie, răspândind panica în tot regatul, Jude este nevoită să aleagă între ambiție și umanitate…

Holly Black
După ce și-a trădat familia şi l-a păcălit pe Cardan să devină regele ei marionetă peste regatul Elfhame, Jude descoperă că este mult mai ușor să câștigi puterea decât să o păstrezi. Politica de la curtea zânelor, cu alianţele ei mereu schimbătoare, este foarte complicată, iar Cardan se dovedește a fi mult mai greu de controlat decât şi-a imaginat Jude. Mai ales că face tot ce îi stă în putere ca să o umilească și să-i submineze planurile, chiar dacă fascinaţia lui pentru ea rămâne neștirbită.
Când devine limpede că un apropiat are de gând să o trădeze, punând în pericol viața ei şi a celor pe care îi iubeşte, Jude trebuie să găsească trădătorul și să-și înfrunte propriile sentimente complicate pentru Cardan, pentru a-și menţine puterea, ca muritoare într-o lume a zânelor.

Holly Black
Il potere è più facile conquistarlo che mantenerlo: un'amara lezione che Jude ha dovuto imparare sulla propria pelle dopo aver accettato di liberare dal suo controllo Cardan, il re malvagio, in cambio di un potere sconfinato.
Ora la ragazza, Regina degli Elfi esiliata e mortale, ancora sconvolta dal tradimento di Cardan, attende solo il momento in cui potrà riprendersi ciò che lui le ha sottratto.
L'occasione propizia si presenta grazie a Taryn, la sua gemella, la cui vita mortale è in pericolo. Per salvarla Jude sarà infatti costretta a fare ritorno alla corte del re e a fare i conti con i sentimenti che prova per lui.
Ma nulla è come lo ha lasciato. Una guerra feroce è in arrivo e Jude finisce per esserne coinvolta. Quando poi un maleficio potente e fino a quel momento silente si diffonde, generando il panico ovunque, sarà costretta a scegliere tra la sua ambizione e la sua umanità.

Holly Black
Devi essere abbastanza forte da colpire e colpire e colpire ancora senza stancarti.

Per tenere al sicuro il fratello più piccolo, Jude è stata costretta a legare a sé Cardan, il re malvagio, mettendogli a disposizione, in cambio, il proprio potere, indispensabile per mantenere saldo il trono.
Ma per la ragazza la convivenza con lui non è affatto semplice, visto che alla già difficile situazione della corte, dove le alleanze sono tutto tranne che stabili, si somma l'estrema imprevedibilità di Cardan. Quest'ultimo, infatti, incapace di liberarsi della fascinazione che prova per Jude, fa di tutto per umiliarla e comprometterne la credibilità.
Inoltre, qualcuno di molto vicino alla ragazza sta per tradirla, minacciando la sua vita e quella di chiunque lei ami.
Venuta a conoscenza del pericolo imminente, Jude, sempre in lotta coi suoi sentimenti per Cardan, si lancia alla ricerca del traditore...
