'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 fearless professor must uncover faerie secrets in the delightful and warm second installment of the Sunday Times bestselling Emily Wilde series. Emily Wilde is an id-genious faerie folklorist, with lists of many secrets of the hidden folk in her encyclopedia, alongside her annoyingly charming colleague, Wendell Bambleby. But Bambleby is more than a brilliant and unbearably handsome scholar. He is an exiled faerie king on the run from his mother, seeking a door back to his kingdom. Without any luck, Emily's new plan, a map of the faerie kingdoms, will lead them on an adventure in the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they might find the door to Bambleby's kingdom and the key to free him from his family's dark plans. But with new friendships to navigate and dangerous Folk lurking in every forest and hollow, Emily must discover the secret workings of faerie doors and her own heart.
