Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on dryadology, the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encylopedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party--much less get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog Shadow, and the Fair Folk to that of friends or lovers. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hransvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: the dashing and insufferably handsome Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of her research, and utterly confound and frustrate Emily. But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones--the most elusive of all faeries--lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all--her own heart\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Line\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne of the New York Times Notable Books of the year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeather Fawcett\u003c\/b\u003e is the \n\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \n\u003ci\u003eAgnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter \u003c\/i\u003eand the Hugo Award-nominated Emily Wilde series, as well as a number of books for children and young adults, including \n\u003ci\u003eEmber and the Ice Dragons, The Grace of Wild Things\u003c\/i\u003e, and\n\u003ci\u003e A Galaxy of Whales\u003c\/i\u003e.
