Part 1: The Queen of Nothing Summary
The Queen of Nothing Barnes And Noble starts with a prologue depicting Cardans birth and the prophecy made when he came into this world. It was said that the last of Eldred’s offspring will be the destruction of the faerie crown. This is why Cardan is poorly treated as a child despite the fact that he is a Prince of the Faeries.
Back to the present day, Jude still lives in the human world together with Vivienne and Oak. She struggles to pay rent as she has no legal documents to get a proper job. She works for a faerie called Bryern, who has been exiled to the human world and who offers Jude some odd jobs, one of them being to stop Grima Mog from eating any more local Folk.
One day, Jude returns home to find a pregnant Taryn looking for her. She had escaped from the faerie world because she ultimately killed her husband Locke for being abusive towards her. Taryn asks Jude to return to Faerie and pretend to be her so that she will be able to lie about killing Locke, thus not being punished for his death.
Eventually, Jude agrees even though this puts her at risk since Cardan banished her from Faerie unless she is pardoned by the crown. Disobeying his order would bring her death.
Jude, under the pretense of being Taryn, returns to Faerie and is exonerated from Locke’s death. Cardan knows that the girl is in fact Jude and asks her why she did not reply to any of his letters. Soon after, the girl is kidnapped by Madoc men, thinking that she was Taryn and that she was in danger.
Being in the enemy nest now, Jude must find a way to escape and get to her sisters. Will she succeed? Will Cardan come and rescue her?

The Queen of Nothing Chapter 4
Jude is angry at Taryn and asks her to leave her house. The girl desperately asks for Jude’s help, but she doesnt flinch. Even though she is terribly hurt, she would rather live out there on the streets than stay one more minute inside the house with her twin sister.
Just as Jude turns around to leave, Taryn blurts out that her husband, Locke is dead and that she killed him. She needs Jude to go back to Faerie and pretend to be her so that no one finds out that she murdered her husband.
Taryn begins to put the puzzle pieces together and realizes that Locke tried to kill her sister, but she was too blind to see anything. She tried to be an obedient wife, even hosting his parties with his friends, but eventually, she had enough.
Now she needed her sister to go to the Faerie world and pass the inquest regarding Locke’s death. Jude hated how thrilled she got at this idea and agrees to do it.
The Queen of Nothing Chapter 7
Jude is nervously walking through the corridors of the palace, following Cardan. He ordered her to go with him to his chambers to discuss. She is afraid that, if he orders her to undress, he will notice her scars and realize she is not Taryn, but Jude.
As she walks through the corridor, a girl carrying a tray bumps into her and they both fell. The other girl uses the opportunity to tell Jude that her father is coming to get her. So Madoc is coming to save Taryn!
Back in Cardans chambers, the king asks Jude why she never replied to his letters. Thinking that he was simply using a ruse, Jude plays her part as Taryn. Cardan can’t be fooled though, he knows for sure that she is Jude and is confused as to why the girl seems to fear him.
Moments later, a terrible explosion is heard and Madoc soldiers enter and capture Jude, thinking she is Taryn. Madoc soon appears and wraps his arm around her waist, as the girl collapses.
