Emily Wildes Compendium of Lost Tales Fawcettov Heather (2025)

The third instalment in Heather Fawcetts enchanting Emily Wilde series follows the curmudgeonly folklore scholar and the fae prince she loves. Emily Wilde has spent her life studying faeries and, as a renowned dryadologist, has documented hundreds of Folk species in her Encyclopaedia of Faeries. Now she embarks on her most dangerous academic project yet: studying the inner workings of a faerie realm as its queen. Alongside her former academic rival and now fianc, the dashing and mercurial Wendell Bambleby, Emily is thrust into the deadly intrigues of Faerie as they seize the throne of Wendells long-lost kingdom. To Emily, the realm is a beautiful nightmare filled with scholarly treasures. Although she has been fascinated by faerie stories all her life, she initially feels as ill-suited to Faerie as she did to the mortal world. How can an unassuming scholar pass for a queen? There is little time to settle in, however, because Wendells murderous stepmother has placed a deadly curse upon the land before vanishing without a trace. Emilys knowledge of stories and all Wendells magic will be needed to unravel the mystery before they lose everything they hold dear.
