Doplňková novela k bestsellerové fantasy Krutý princ V Zemi víl, kde se snoubí krása s nebezpečím, bojovaly dvě lidské sestry o své místo na slunci. Zatímco Jude si vždy šla tvrdě za svým, Taryn si přišla opomíjená. Její touha po lásce a uznání ji dohnala až do náruče Lockea, s nímž se ocitla ve zničující spirále touhy a lží. Věci však nikdy nejsou tak jednoduché, jak by se mohlo zdát. Proto Taryn píše svému dvojčeti dopis, ve kterém odhaluje křehkou rovnováhu mezi loajalitou a zradou… a také zoufalství srdce hledajícího pochopení ve světě plném krutosti.
Jude bylo sedm, když jí zabili rodiče a unesli ji spolu se sestrami na proradný dvůr víl. Od té doby netouží po ničem jiném než zapadnout, najít si mezi vílami své místo a pokud možno získat také aspoň kousek moci a respektu. Jakožto smrtelnice se ale musí ohánět dvakrát tolik, aby mezi nesmrtelnými bytostmi obstála. Jude se však nezalekne ničeho. Ani dvorských intrik, ani krutého prince Cardana, ani svého nevlastního otce. Podaří se jí splnit si to, co si vytyčila?
