Emily Wilde
Heather Fawcett · 3 novels · 2023–2025
Heather Fawcett's Emily Wilde novels follow a prickly, socially awkward professor of dryadology cataloguing the world's fairy folklore, opening with Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries as fieldwork in a remote village pulls her into an actual faerie court's politics. Map of the Otherlands and Compendium of Lost Tales continue her research and a growing entanglement with a rival scholar-turned-fae king. The books frame their romance through the format of an academic's field journal.
