The Cruel Prince is enemies to lovers, bully romance & fae court — closed door, first-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.
Jude Duarte was seven years old when the faerie general Madoc murdered her parents and carried her — along with her sisters — to live in the treacherous High Court of Elfhame. Ten years on, mortal Jude burns with ambition to earn a place among the immortal fae, even as the sadistic Prince Cardan makes her life a torment. When she stumbles into a conspiracy that could topple the throne, Jude must use the one weapon faeries lack — the ability to lie — to outmanoeuvre an entire court of beautiful, ruthless immortals.
