Why these tropes fit
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde, the world's foremost expert on faeries, travels to the remote northern village of Hrafnsvik to complete her life's work: the first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. Preferring the company of books, her dog Shadow, and the Fair Folk to people, she plans to avoid the gruff townsfolk—until her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby arrives. Bambleby charms the villagers, disrupts her research, and utterly confounds her. As Emily investigates the elusive Hidden Ones lurking in the shadowy forest outside town, she also begins chasing a second mystery: who Bambleby really is and what he wants. Along the way she must unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart.
