The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black (Folk of the Air 3)


Whoa!  What a conclusion.  Jude is living in the mortal world and her sister Taryn comes back to ask her to impersonate her because Locke is dead and Taryn has been accused of murdering her.  Since Jude cannot be glamoured, Taryn asks her to go to her "trial".  As Jude returns to Faerie she realizes how much things have changed.  Madoc has left the kingdom and joined forces with another group to go against King Cardan.  No one still knows or believes Jude is Queen.  As Jude goes on trial as Taryn , Cardan realizes it is her and not her sister, the castle is attacked, and Jude is kidnapped by Madoc.  No one but Cardan realize she is really Taryn  and Jude keeps up the ruse for quite a while and discovers what the plans are.  Just when you think things are going to go one way, Holly Black throws another wrinkle in the mix.  Lots of twists and turns, but I was pleased with how it ended. 

Definitely need to be high school and up.  There was a sex scene between Jude and Cardan, not too graphic, but it was there.
