Author Holly Black has signed a young adult trilogy deal with Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. Book one of the Folk of Air trilogy will be called The Cruel Prince.
Over at Black’s Tumblr page, she (pictured, via) revealed that she has written about 30,000 words of the first installment. The publication date has been set for Winter 2018.
Here’s more from Entertainment Weekly: “While The Darkest Part of the Forest introduced readers to the faerie world, The Folk of Air Trilogy will bring that world a step closer. This new series, according to the publisher, focuses on ‘a young human girl who witnesses her parents’ deaths and is forcibly taken to Faerieland with her two sisters—one faery, one human—where she will grow up and one day fight to gain power.'”
