Emily Wilde

In a world where magic is as elusive as it is dangerous, Emily Wilde’s journey is anything but ordinary. A brilliant academic with an unwavering thirst for knowledge, Emily steps into a realm where faeries are not merely creatures of whimsy but intricate puzzles that demand to be unraveled. Unlike most scholars, she doesn’t just study magic—she lives it, embracing the unexpected and often chaotic nature of her subjects.

Set in a richly atmospheric world that blends academia with the mystical, the series follows Emily’s adventures as she navigates a life that’s equal parts intellectual pursuit and unpredictable enchantment. Her quest to document and understand the faerie world introduces her to Hrafnsvik, a village as enigmatic as the creatures that inhabit it, and to Wendell Bambleby, an academic rival who is as frustrating as he is compelling. But the true challenge? The faeries themselves, with their secrets, riddles, and dark magic.

Emily Wilde consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
