The Cruel Prince is a young adult fantasy novel by Holly Black, published on January 2, 2018 by Little Brown Books for Young Readers.[1] It is the first book in The Folk of the Air trilogy, and follows Jude, who lives in a world despised by faeries.
In June 2017, it was announced that The Cruel Prince had been opted for a film adaptation produced by Universal Pictures and Michael De Luca.[2]
The book features appearances by characters from Black's previous Modern Tale of Faerie trilogy, as well as characters from her standalone novel The Darkest Part of the Forest, establishing that those books take place in the same universe as The Cruel Prince.
