Bookseller recommendation
“Our favorite prickly English folklorist and deposed Irish faerie king are back, this time on an adventure to the Austrian Alps. The Alpine setting of the Map of the Otherlands is rendered just as vividly as the Scandinavian backdrop of the Encyclopaedia of Faeries. The environments are beautiful and treacherous, populated by Fair Folk both benign and truly horrible. The faerie realm adjusts to its unique surroundings while retaining its dizzying otherworldliness and impenetrability. In St. Liesl, it's not only faeries who haunt the landscape, but mortals too. If you're interested in scholarly adventures, slow-burning affection, or moss-covered faerie doors, there is something here for you. ”

“Lately in canon, the world of books has been missing a sense of wonder and whimsy to go along with the darkness of so much fantasy. Emily Wilde has done a stupendous job of jumping right in with her awkward self and stealing my heart away. I absolutely could not put down the first book and squealed with delight when I saw the arc of the second had dropped. My poor husband had to endure my countless exclamations of "oh my god I have to read you this, it's so funny" or "oh my god! This is so cute! I can't, listen!" and I can honestly say that he was just as glad as I was to dive into book two. Emily and Wendall are perfect for each other and happily bring every reader along for the ride. I cannot wait for book three and I hope I get the delight of reading many more adventures from Ms Fawcett! ”

When mysterious faeries from other realms appear at her university, curmudgeonly professor Emily Wilde must uncover their secrets before it’s too late, in this heartwarming, enchanting second installment of the Emily Wilde series.
Emily Wilde is a genius scholar of faerie folklore who just wrote the world’s first comprehensive encyclopaedia of faeries. She’s learned many of the secrets of the Hidden Ones on her adventures . . . and also from her fellow scholar and former rival Wendell Bambleby.
Because Bambleby is more than infuriatingly charming. He’s an exiled faerie king on the run from his murderous mother and in search of a door back to his realm. And despite Emily’s feelings for Bambleby, she’s not ready to accept his proposal of marriage: Loving one of the Fair Folk comes with secrets and dangers.
She also has a new project to focus on: a map of the realms of faerie. While she is preparing her research, Bambleby lands her in trouble yet again, when assassins sent by his mother invade Cambridge. Now Bambleby and Emily are on another adventure, this time to the picturesque Austrian Alps, where Emily believes they may find the door to Bambleby’s realm and the key to freeing him from his family’s dark plans.
But with new relationships 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.
