Självklart vill jag vara som dem. De är vackra som blad smidda i någon gudomlig eld. De kommer att leva för evigt. Och Cardan är ännu vackrare än resten. Jag hatar honom mer än alla andra. Jag hatar honom så mycket att jag nästan inte kan andas när jag tittar på honom. När Jude är sju år mördas hennes föräldrar och hon och hennes två systrar tvingas flytta till älvafolkets rike. Tio år senare vill Jude inget hellre än att höra hemma där, trots sin dödlighet. Men många av älvorna föraktar människor och Jude hånas för sitt ursprung. Särskilt prins Cardan, yngste sonen till rikets kung, gör livet svårt för henne. För att vinna en plats vid hovet måste hon trotsa honom och ta konsekvenserna. Jude blir alltmer indragen i intriger och oegentligheter. När landet hotar att gå under i ett inbördeskrig måste Jude riskera sitt liv i en livsfarlig allians för att rädda sina systrar och hela riket. Frågan är vem det går att lita på?

Boken har toppat The New York Times lista på bästsäljare och fick bland annat pris på Locus awards år 2019.
