This was everything that I didn’t know that I wanted. These interwoven tales give us a little extra danger, humor, and drama for those wishing to return to Elfhame. This tale takes a deep dive into Cardan’s dramatic life before before, during, and after The Folk of Air trilogy and told wholly from Cardan’s perspective. Long before he was a cruel prince or even a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone. Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue. They indulged all their worst impulses, revenged themselves for the least offense, and took every last thing they wanted.Īnd sure, they wound up in barrels studded with nails, or dancing in iron shoes heated by fire, not just dead, but disgraced and screaming.īut before they got what was coming to them, they got to be the fairest in all the land.” They got to be cruel and selfish, to preen in front of mirrors and poison apples, and trap girls on mountains of glass. ![]() |
