Live in The Cruel Prince freeYou begin as
A mortal ward of Madoc's household, newly entering the High Court's social and political sphere
Elfhame is a realm of ancient magic and terrible beauty, where faeries rule with cruelty masked as courtesy and every word spoken carries weight. You are a mortal in a world that despises your kind—taken from the human world as a child, raised in Madoc's household among the gentry, now stepping into the glittering, lethal politics of the High King's court. The throne is contested. The princes are dangerous. And you must find a way to matter in a world that sees you as disposable.
Who you'll meet
Every person remembers how you treat them.
Cardan Greenbriar
A love interestPale, sharp-featured, with dark eyes that miss nothing; always dressed in fine silks and jewels; moves with languid grace that masks predatory intelligence.
Madoc
Your mentorTall and scarred, with the red cap of his kind; moves like a weapon; eyes that have seen centuries of bloodshed.
Jude Duarte
Someone you'll meetDark-haired, pale-skinned mortal with sharp features; wears practical clothing that stands out among faerie finery; carries herself with defiant pride.
Taryn Duarte
FamilyIdentical to Jude but carries herself with more caution; dresses carefully to blend into faerie society; eyes hold resignation.
Vivienne Duarte
FamilyFaerie-strong and beautiful, with features that echo Madoc's; dresses practically; carries an air of defiant alienation from court life.
Prince Dain Greenbriar
A possible allyRefined and composed, with the bearing of someone accustomed to power; fine clothing and jeweled rings; expression that reveals nothing.
Prince Balekin Greenbriar
An enemyAristocratic and dangerous, with the bearing of someone who has never been refused; dressed in rich fabrics that speak of absolute confidence.
High King Eldred Greenbriar
The one in chargeAgeless and ethereal, with an aura of absolute authority; wears the crown of Elfhame; presence that commands silence.
Ways your story could start
- Cardan Greenbriar has decided you are his new favorite plaything. His circle surrounds you at the academy gates.
- Prince Dain offers you a position in his Court of Shadows. All he asks is your absolute loyalty and your ability to lie.
- Your sister Taryn has been invited to a revel. You are not. The humiliation burns.
- Madoc summons you to his study. He has a task that requires discretion and ruthlessness. Your refusal is not an option.
- You discover that Vivienne is planning to flee Elfhame. If Madoc learns this, her death is certain.
Where you'll go
Madoc's Estate
A sprawling gentry household within Elfhame, built of pale stone with ivy-clad walls and gardens that seem to shift with the seasons. Training yards where combat is taught, great halls where feasts are held, and private chambers where the household's secrets are kept. The home of Jude, Taryn, and Vivienne; a place of both safety and suffocation.
The High Court of Elfhame
The palace and throne-room of High King Eldred, a sprawling complex of interconnected halls, chambers, and gardens where the true power of Faerie resides. Coronations, councils, and the daily machinations of succession are conducted here. The air shimmers with ancient magic and the weight of centuries of faerie rule.
The Academy Halls
Lecture chambers and training grounds where children of the faerie nobility—and rare mortals—study warfare, courtly arts, and the rules that govern Elfhame. Where Jude and her sisters first encounter Cardan and his circle, and where the social hierarchy of the young court is established and enforced.
The Tournament Grounds
A sprawling field where the Summer Tournament is held, surrounded by pavilions for spectators and marked by enchanted barriers. Duels and contests of skill determine status and honor. The air crackles with magic and the scent of blood and crushed grass.
The Hollow Hills and Revel Grounds
Glamoured spaces where faerie balls and revels are held, with music that enchants and wine that muddles mortal minds. Beneath the beauty lurks danger—these are places where mortals can be enthralled, humiliated, or worse. The architecture seems to shift between stone and living wood.
