Desire for power and betrayal lurk everywhere from "summary" of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Power and betrayal are ever-present forces in the world of Faerie. They are like shadows, always lurking just beneath the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The desire for power drives many of the characters in this story, shaping their every action and decision. Whether it is the desire for the crown, for control, or for vengeance, power is a seductive force that can corrupt even the purest of hearts. Betrayal, too, is a constant threat in this world. Trust is a rare commodity, easily broken and difficult to repair. Those closest to us are often the ones who can hurt us the most, using our vulnerabilities against us in the most cruel and cunning ways. Betrayal can come in many forms - a stolen secret, a broken promise, a knife in the dark. And once the seed of betrayal is planted, it can grow and fester, poisoning everything it touches. In the court of Faerie, power and betrayal go hand in hand. It is a dangerous game, one that requires cunning, ruthlessness, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to come out on top. The stakes are high, and the consequences of failure are severe. In this world, alliances are fragile, and loyalty is a rare commodity. To survive, one must be willing to betray and be betrayed, to seize power and hold onto it at all costs. But in the midst of this darkness, there is also beauty and magic. Love and loyalty can be found in the unlikeliest of places, offering a glimmer of hope in a world consumed by power and betrayal. It is a delicate balance, a tightrope walk between light and dark, good and evil. And in the end, it is up to each character to decide which path to follow - to succumb to the desire for power and embrace betrayal, or to choose a different, more difficult road.
