Cambridge professor Emily Wilde, a genius scholar and meticulous researcher, is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore.
She travels to the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik to complete her research on the Hidden Ones, the most elusive of all faeries.
There, she encounters her academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who charms the townsfolk and complicates her research.
