"The Cruel Prince" is a young adult fantasy novel by Holly Black, published in 2018. The book is the first in the "Folk of the Air" trilogy and follows the story of Jude Duarte, a human girl who is taken to live in the High Court of Faerie after her parents are murdered by a faerie general.

Jude struggles to fit in among the faeries who look down on humans and despise her for her mortality. She also has to deal with the bullying and cruelty of Prince Cardan, the youngest son of the High King. Despite his hostility towards her, Jude becomes entangled in a dangerous game of politics and power struggles, as she seeks to prove herself in the world of Faerie.

As the story unfolds, Jude discovers that there is a plot to overthrow the High King and that her loyalties are being tested in unexpected ways. The book explores themes of power, prejudice, and the complex relationships between mortals and the fae.

"The Cruel Prince" received positive reviews for its dark and immersive storytelling, well-developed characters, and intricate world-building. The book has also been praised for its diverse cast of characters and its exploration of complex moral issues. The success of the book has led to a sequel, "The Wicked King," and a third book in the series, "The Queen of Nothing."
