Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries

Cambridge professor Emily Wilde, a genius scholar and meticulous researcher, is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore.

She travels to the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik to complete her research on the Hidden Ones, the most elusive of all faeries.

There, she encounters her academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who charms the townsfolk and complicates her research.

As Emily delves deeper into the secrets of the fae, she also uncovers mysteries about Wendell and her own heart.

The book is a cosy slice-of-life fantasy, written in a historical setting where faerie studies are real, and features exquisite world-building, beautiful imagery, and engaging characters.
