Summary
Being part of Dain’s circle of spies, the last thing The Ghost had expected to find was friendship. Camaraderie, maybe. But not friendship, pure and fun.
So imagine his surprise when an extremely irritable faerie girl works her way into the Court of Shadows, and forces him to spend time with her.
Of course, something happens. They start to feel—and they’d like to pretend the rest of the court doesn’t know about it.

Much has changed in the wake of the bloodbath coronation. Vivi and Jude escaped and settled into a mortal life, Madoc rules Elfhame, Balekin disappeared with the blood crown, and Cardan was spirited away to the Undersea by Nicasia. Ten years pass. Jude blossoms into a competent barista and a semi-normal human. She lives a life of quiet anonymity in the city and brews a damn fine cup of coffee. Just don't get on her bad side, or she'll poison your latte with decaf.
It would be a shame if a certain someone snaked his way into her life again. Pun fully intended. Seriously, he's going to be a big ass snake.

Summary
For her whole life in Elfhame, Jude had been convinced that mortals were unable to do magic. She clearly remembers Madoc telling her that there were no witches in fairyland.
She assumed he meant that they didn't exist, not that they had been hunted into extinction.
During one of her missions at hallow hall, Jude received information about a spell that requires a unicorn and a witch and her whole world gets turned sideways as she discovers why they were eradicated.
After another mission where Jude saves a strangers life, an ancient grimoire finds its way to her bed with a note from the stranger thanking her for saving them and warning her to only read the spellbook but not to practice the magic within, lest she wishes to be burned by the folk.
Jude heeded the warning as if Oriana had given it to her herself, that is she completely ignored it and did what she shouldn't.
Tensions are high as the coronation swiftly approaches and Jude finds herself more deeply entwined with the web of lies that ties the Greenbriar line together than ever before. With nothing but her wits and her secret sender to aid her magical studies, Jude can only hope to make it out unscathed. -

Summary
He let the book fall open on his lap and spoke before she could ask again. “I had a nightmare,” he said. “I’m fine, now.” It could not have been a lie. Jude raised a brow, assessing. Surely, she’d rooted out how fickle of a word fine could be.
“Do you always read at the break of dawn?” She asked instead.

“Why do all those things, Cardan? Was it just to feel powerful for two seconds?”
He hesitates. Sneers, the way he always does whenever there is a lie coating his tongue and he realizes he cannot spit it out. And then, “I wanted them to see me. Because no one does.”
“I do. I see you.”

Summary
In the two hundred years since the Ravkan Civil War, Ravka has changed for better and worse. Airfleets determine military might. Wars are colder. Radicals murmur of the monarchy’s end. Through all of this, the Second Army endures, still a force to be reckoned with.
When Jude Duarte is seven, her parents are branded traitors to the Ravkan throne and killed. Jude is taken by their murderer and raised in the Little Palace, even though she and her twin sister Taryn possess no Grisha power themselves. They grow up surrounded by beauty and enchantment and cruelty. No one embodies these traits better than Prince Cardan, the youngest and worst son of the royal family and Grisha to boot.
Then a coup forces Jude and Cardan to flee Os Alta, and these adversaries must learn to work together or face the consequences. When they rouse the dormant evil awaiting them on the Shadow Fold, they find themselves fighting not just for the throne, but for the fate of their world—and their very souls.
