A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town in the far north to study faerie folklore and discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love in the start of a heartwarming and enchanting new fantasy series. Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk.…

Recommended by

"Emily Wilde – an anti-social, curmudgeonly Cambridge professor – is an expert in the study of faeries. This book is her journal, complete with faerie-lore-filled footnotes, on her northern research journey to study the fae. Her observation takes a turn when she gets far too involved in the world of the fae and begins chronicling her increasingly dangerous adventures, not just her research. Throw in a handsome, and mysterious, academic rival, Wendell Bambleby, who shows up uninvited to join the expedition, and you get an incredibly fun journey through fae lands and dark magic."
