But his deadly reputation has suffered ever since a bargain went awry—if he can strike a bargain with Mariel, he will earn it back.

So she decides to make a home for herself by running away and offering herself as an apprentice to the witch in the nearby woods. After all, who better to teach Grace to use her magic? Surely the witch can’t be that bad. But the witch is that bad—she steals souls for spells and gobbles up hearts. So Grace offers a deal: If she can learn all 100½ spells in the witch’s grimoire, the witch will make Grace her apprentice.

Publisher's summary
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town in the far north in this “incredibly fun journey through fae lands and dark magic” (NPR), the start of a heartwarming and enchanting new fantasy series.
“A darkly gorgeous fantasy that sparkles with snow and magic.”—Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, PopSugar, Polygon, The Globe and Mail, She Reads
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.
So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.
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.
Book One of the Emily Wilde Series
Critic reviews
“An incredibly fun journey through fae lands and dark magic”—NPR
“A heartwarming spin on fantasy lore”—POPSUGAR
“The world-building here is exquisite . . . and the characters are just as textured and richly drawn. This is the kind of forlorn, folkloric fantasy that remembers the old, blood-ribboned source material about sacrifices and stolen children, but adds a modern gloss.”—“Sizzling Hot Books for Cold Winter Days,” The New York Times Book Review

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Now the Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since. Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians' general, Sir. Training to be a warrior - and desperately in love with her best friend and future king, Mather - she would do anything to help Winter rise to power again.

Enchanting, whimsical and so much fun
The story was lovely, I did have to slow it down so I could process it all as it’s read a little quickly for my own personal enjoyment.
Witty and imaginative, my first fairie novel as an adult and I enjoyed it very much. Going to listen to it again 🖤

loved it
incredibly refreshing - great story, great characters and shift from the world of “fae” that’s so common to more faerie vibes that are still just as enthralling

An Incredible Stories of Faeries & Falling in love
Fawcett has the ability to write faeries unlike anyone in the current time, they are heavily inspired by very classic folktales/fairytales and leave you feeling weary more then @roused. The story was incredible and the voice performances from Dodds and Potter were incredibly. I hope that we get even more from Dodds in the next book! They brought these characters to life with both charm and awkwardness (respectively).

Fairy tales within a fairy tale
Enjoyable on all levels. Well developed academic main characters. Very detailed scenarios. I have added a hard cover copy to my library.

Clean and clever
This was just a good solid story. Easy to listen to and not filled with smut. You can tell a good story when it doesn’t need to be filled with all of that stuff to be entertaining.

A deep dive into a fantasy world
Great pacing and characters. The description of the frozen setting made it otherworldly but familiar.

Absolutely wonderful
This book was simply enchanting. Loved the characters, the development of the world and the characters within. The subtle romance that is pure and refreshing, leaving room for the more complex story to unfold. I cannot wait for book two!!
