The Folk of the Air series consists of 3 books: The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, The Queen of Nothing. They follow the story of Jude Duarte, a human girl kidnapped from the mortal world and taken to the kingdom of Elfhame. She is forced to grow up with Madoc, a Faerie and the man who murdered her parents in front of her and who took her to Elfhame, as her father. Over time, her and her twin sister Taryn grew to love him despite the trauma he caused them, but their older sister Vivienne always resented him. Jude and Taryn take lessons with Faerie gentry, including prince Cardan and his group of friends, who Jude despised because they would pick on her for being mortal. Jude always wanted to prove herself to everyone around her, and to show that her mortality didn’t make her weak, which sometimes got her into trouble.
