What The Queen of Nothing is about
Jude Duarte is a mortal who became Queen of Faerie, and now she is exiled, powerless, and still stinging from Cardan's betrayal. She is not the type to accept that quietly. Jude bides her time, set on taking back everything he stole from her.
Her chance comes through her twin sister Taryn, whose life is in danger. That pulls Jude back into the treacherous Faerie realm, where she must solve an important riddle and try to save both the king and the land she loves. The story is dark and twisty, driven by power struggles, love tangled up with betrayal, and loyalty to family.
