Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales
Emily Wilde #3 by Heather Fawcett
Scholar. Queen. Faerie realm detective.

Emily Wilde has spent her life cataloguing the strange and enchanting world of the Folk—but nothing could have prepared her for becoming the queen of a faerie realm. With her academic archnemesis-turned-fiancé, the ever-dramatic Wendell Bambleby, now at her side, Emily is no longer simply a dryadologist—she’s royalty. And court politics are far more treacherous than fieldwork.

Wendell’s mysterious kingdom is a dazzling labyrinth of wonders and whispered threats, and as the new rulers, Emily and Wendell must navigate curses, conspiracies, and chaos at every turn. When a deadly enchantment spreads through the land and Wendell’s stepmother disappears without a trace, it’s up to Emily to unravel the truth using her one true power: the magic of stories.

"There is no tale more dangerous than one you do not know you’re in."
