Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands
Emily Wilde, a brilliant scholar of faerie folklore, has just completed the world's first comprehensive encyclopedia of faeries. Her adventures have revealed many secrets of the Hidden Folk, aided by her fellow scholar and former rival, Wendell Bambleby. However, Bambleby is more than just charming; he's an exiled faerie king fleeing from his murderous mother and seeking a way back to his realm.
Despite her feelings for Bambleby, Emily hesitates to accept his marriage proposal, aware of the dangers of loving one of the Fair Folk. Instead, she focuses on her new project: mapping the realms of faerie. But when assassins sent by Bambleby's mother invade Cambridge, Emily and Bambleby embark on a new adventure to the Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they might find the door to Bambleby's realm and the key to his freedom.
