Emily Wilde prefers footnotes to friendship. She’s brilliant, stubborn, and far better with faerie lore than with small talk.
Sent to a remote northern village to complete her groundbreaking encyclopaedia on the Fair Folk, Emily expects isolation, icy forests, and ancient magic. What she gets instead is Wendell Bambleby—her insufferably charming academic rival—and a faerie mystery far more dangerous than any scholarly debate.
As secrets stir in the snowy woods and the villagers whisper of Hidden Ones, Emily must untangle faerie bargains, dark enchantments, and the mystery of Wendell himself.
Heather Fawcett’s Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries is a whimsical, darkly enchanting tale of grumpy professors, mischievous fae, and the kind of magic that sneaks up on your heart when you’re not looking.
