'Forget dark academia: give me instead this kind of
winter-sunshined, sharp-tongued and footnoted academia, full of
field trips and grumpy romance' Freya Marske, author of A
Marvellous Light An intrepid professor must uncover faerie secrets
in the delightful and heart-warming second instalment of the Sunday
Times bestselling Emily Wilde series. Emily Wilde is a genius
scholar of faerie folklore, and has catalogued many secrets of the
Hidden Folk in her encyclopaedia with her infuriatingly charming
fellow scholar, Wendell Bambleby, by her side. But Bambleby is more
than just a brilliant and unbearably handsome scholar. He's an
exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother, in search
of a door back to his realm. By lucky happenstance, Emily's new
project, a map of the realms of faerie, will take them on an
adventure to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes
they may find the door to Bambleby's realm, and the key to freeing
him from his family's dark plans. But with new friendships for the
prickly Emily to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every
forest and hollow, Emily must unravel the mysterious workings of
faerie doors, and of her own heart. Praise for this series: 'A
darkly gorgeous fantasy that sparkles with snow and magic, this
book wholly enchanted me' Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret
Society of Irregular Witches 'A thoroughly charming academic fairy
tale, complete with footnotes and a low-key grumpy romance'
Guardian 'Enchanting in every sense of the word. . . This book is
real magic' H. G. Parry, author of The Unlikely Escape of Uriah
Heep 'A book so vividly, endlessly enchanting, so crisply assured,
so rich and complete and wise and far-reaching in its worldbuilding
that you'll walk away half ensorcelled, sure Fawcett found Emily
Wilde's journal in some sea-stained trunk' Melissa Albert 'The
ideal book to curl up with on a chilly winter's evening. . . this
book is an absolute delight.' Megan Bannen, author of The
Undertaking of Hart and Mercy 'A charmingly whimsical delight. . .
Five dazzling, gladdening stars' India Holton, author of The
Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels 'I enjoyed every word of this
gorgeously written fairy tale featuring a grumpy heroine and an
utterly charming love interest' Isabel IbaƱez, author of Woven In
Moonlight
