"In the early 1900s, a curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town to study faerie folklore, where she discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love. 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 encyclopedia 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"--

Emily Wilde, professora em Cambridge, é excelente em muitas coisas. É uma académica genial, uma investigadora fora de série e a maior especialista no estudo das fadas. Está, aliás, a escrever a primeira enciclopédia do mundo sobre elas. Mas Emily Wilde não tem jeito para pessoas. Nunca conseguiu fazer conversa fiada numa festa. Nunca conseguiu sequer ser convidada para uma. E prefere a companhia dos livros e do seu cão a qualquer contacto pessoal. Por isso, quando a sua busca por conhecimento a leva à gélida aldeia de Hrafnsvik, Emily não tem qualquer intenção de fazer amizade com os seus rudes habitantes. Também não quer passar tempo com o outro recém-chegado, o seu insuportável rival académico Wendell Bambleby, que consegue encantar tudo e todos, imiscuir-se na sua investigação e irritá-la mais do que ela gostaria de admitir. Até porque está a braços com uma cabana em ruínas e uma floresta sombria repleta de fadas perigosas. Mas quando Emily parece estar prestes a desvendar os segredos das Ocultas, as fadas mais esquivas de todas, outro enigma chama a sua atenção (e de que maneira!): quem é Wendell Bambleby, e o que é que ele realmente quer? Para encontrar a resposta, ela terá de desvendar o maior mistério de todos - o seu próprio coração.
