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 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

What others are saying about Tales of the Enchanted Wildwood ★★★★★ "A very short read that both disturbs and leaves you wanting to know more about this world. It is a character driven story in a richly imagined world." - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "I was riveted to the story and found it dark, yet enchanting and would dearly love to read further into the story of Yula and Aelbrin, my only complaint being that this was such a short story as I did not want it to end." - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "It was a quick and compelling read. A dark faerie tale with a romance that didn't feel cheesy or out of place." - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "Ford has packed an incredible amount of world-building into 60-odd pages without compromising that fairy tale pace. I definitely want to read more of this world!" - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "It had fantasy, magic and just the right amount of steaminess." - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "This story is reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast in a twisted, upside down, through the looking glass sort of way. There are elements from the traditional tale, such as the whispering spirits, the scarred Lord, and the vicious mob but not in the way they are traditionally used. A story of redemption and purpose in a broken world. There is romance and it does get steamy at the end." - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "This story reminded me of the beloved fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast and I am a real sucker for stories where love conquers all and this is one such story!" - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "The relationship building in this forbidden romance was truly amazing. Beautifully told story full of magic and the unexpected." - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "I was blown away by the beauty of this tale, of magic, hope and love and the need all of us have to belong as did our two lost souls, who found one another." - Amazon Review
