Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales

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 fianc – 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?
