Description



About the Book



"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 can an unassuming scholar such as herself pass for a queen? Yet there is little time to settle in, for Wendell's murderous stepmother has placed a deadly curse upon the land before vanishing without a trace. It will take all of Wendell's magic--and Emily's knowledge of stories--to unravel the mystery before they lose everything they hold dear."--



Book Synopsis



The third installment in the heartwarming and enchanting Emily Wilde series, about a curmudgeonly scholar of folklore and the fae prince she loves

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 fiancé--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.

Review Quotes




Praise for Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands

"Like all good fairy tales, this book is enchantingly charming, with hints of razor-sharp teeth. My only complaint is that it ends; I want to live in Emily's Otherlands forever."--Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mister Magic

"Readers will be pleased that curmudgeonly Emily hasn't lost too much of her edge, but she's still susceptible to unexpected bonds of friendship."--Booklist, starred review

"Upping the danger and the darkness while still retaining all the beauty of the prose, this takes Emily's story to new heights."--Publishers Weekly

"Love can change a person--or a faerie--in the most unexpected of ways, and it's impossible to walk alongside Emily on her journey of scholarship, mapmaking and true love without rooting for her."--BookPage

"Wilde is a fantastic character: frosty and reserved, but also generous and kind . . . In many ways, the second Emily Wilde book is even more compelling than the first."--The Washington Post


Praise for Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries

"A heartwarming spin on fantasy lore"--POPSUGAR

"The world-building here is exquisite . . . and the characters are just as textured and richly drawn. This is the kind of forlorn, folkloric fantasy that remembers the old, blood-ribboned source material about sacrifices and stolen children, but adds a modern gloss."--"Sizzling Hot Books for Cold Winter Days," The New York Times Book Review
"Emily herself is delightful, brilliant but flawed, and often darkly funny. Her frustration with her feckless but charming colleague Wendell Bambleby is the perfect spark, and the romance is light but hits surprisingly hard when it chooses to."--The New York Times (Editors' Choice)

"Fawcett grabs readers' attention by drawing them into the folklore as well as the surrounding world. A great read for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Erin Morgenstern."--Library Journal (starred review)

"The full cast of characters, well-developed faerie lore, and pervasive sense of cold add depth to the delightful proceedings, which include scholarship, yes, but also danger and a hint of romance."--Booklist (starred review)

"Follow the lights into the woods and dance with the fae under Emily's careful guidance--just be sure not to get carried away."--BookPage
