Opis

A charmingly whimsical delight. . . Five dazzling, gladdening stars' - India Holton, author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels

The third instalment in the enchanting light academia Emily Wilde books, about a curmudgeonly scholar of folklore and the fae prince she loves, from Sunday Times bestselling author Heather Fawcett.

Emily Wilde has spent her life studying faeries. A renowned dryadologist, she has documented hundreds of species of Folk in her Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Now she is about to embark on her most dangerous academic project yet: studying the inner workings of a faerie realm-as its queen.

Along with her former academic rival-now fiance-the dashing and mercurial Wendell Bambleby, Emily is immediately thrust into the deadly intrigues of Faerie as the two of them seize the throne of Wendell's long-lost kingdom, which Emily finds a beautiful nightmare, filled with scholarly treasures.

Emily has been obsessed with faerie stories her entire life, but at first she feels as ill-suited to Faerie as she did to the mortal world-how could an unassuming scholar like herself pass for a queen? Yet there is little time to settle in-Wendell's murderous stepmother has placed a deadly curse upon the land before vanishing without a trace.

It will take all of Wendell's magic-and Emily's knowledge of stories-to unravel the mystery before they lose everything they hold dear.

Praise for the Emily Wilde books:

'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

'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 Magician's Daughter

'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

'I enjoyed every word of this gorgeously written fairy tale featuring a grumpy heroine and an utterly charming love interest' - Isabel Ibanez, author of Woven In Moonlight
