ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black explores the life of Prince Cardan of Elfhame, from his difficult childhood to his rise as High King. The narrative examines his complex relationships with his family, particularly his cruel brother Balekin, and his evolving feelings for Jude, a mortal. Cardan grapples with his identity, adopting a villainous persona, while encountering shifting stories that challenge his perceptions. The story delves into themes of power, betrayal, and the transformative nature of love and connection, as Cardan's carefully constructed world is shaken by those around him, particularly Jude and Nicasia. Through his journey, he learns that even a heart of stone can be broken and that true strength may lie not in cruelty but in connection.
