Emily Wilde 2: EMILY WILDE'S MAP OF THE OTHERLANDS

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. Hes an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother, in search of a door back to his realm. By lucky happenstance, Emilys 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 Bamblebys realm, and the key to freeing him from his familys 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. . .
