Certainly! Here’s a summary of “The Queen of Nothing” by Holly Black:
Jude Duarte, the 19-year-old mortal High Queen of the faerie kingdom Elfhame, has recently been exiled to the human world by her husband, High King Cardan. This comes after she killed his scheming half-brother, Prince Balekin, in a previous installment of the series. Feeling betrayed by Cardan, whom she secretly married, Jude now performs dangerous chores for the faeries living on the edges of the mortal world. She does this to support her sister Vivienne and her younger brother Oak.
During one of her tasks, Jude meets Grima Mog, a fierce faerie commander in exile. Jude earns Grima Mog’s respect by defeating her in battle. Grima Mog then reveals that Jude’s father, Madoc, is plotting to attack Cardan.
Soon after, Jude’s estranged identical twin, Taryn, visits her from Faerie. Taryn has murdered her husband, Locke, and wants Jude to assume her identity during the murder inquest. Jude agrees to go back to Faerie, where the Fae folk live. Disguised as Taryn, Jude launches a successful defense before Cardan’s court. However, the courtiers remain suspicious of her, considering Jude to be dangerous due to her connection to the mortal world.
