Romanttinen hyvänmielen fantasia vie pohjoisen tuiskuihin ja haltioiden matkaan. Yrmeä professori Emily Wilde matkaa pohjoiseen syrjäiselle saarelle tutkimaan keijuja ja haltioita. Työ kuljettaa hänet niin pahantahtoisen magian kuin odottamattoman rakkaudenkin äärelle. Lukijat ja kriitikot lumonnut Tiktok-ilmiö aloittaa valloittavan fantasiasarjan. Emily Wilde on haltiatiedon asiantuntija ja nerokas tutkija, muttei järin hyvä ihmisten kanssa. Kun Emily saapuu nietosten peittämään Hrafnsvikin kylään tutkimusmatkalle, hänellä ei ole aikomustakaan tutustua paikallisiin. Eikä hän myöskään halua viettää aikaa kilpailijansa Wendell Bamblebyn kanssa. Bamblebyn, joka hurmaa kyläläiset, tunkee nokkansa Emilyn työhön ja hämmentää hänet läpikotaisesti. Kun Emily raottaa ovea aiemmin tutkimattoman haltiakansan maailmaan, hän törmää toiseen mysteeriin: kuka on Wendell Bambleby? Ratkaistakseen arvoituksen Emilyn on paljastettava oman sydämensä salat. Heather Fawcett on kirjoittanut useita kirjoja lapsille ja nuorille. Emily Wilden haltiatiedon opas on hänen ensimmäinen aikuistenromaaninsa. Fawcettilla on maisterintutkinto kirjallisuudesta, ja hän on työskennellyt arkeologina, valokuvaajana, teknisenä kirjoittajana ja Shakespeare-teatterifestivaalin avustajana.

Timed to the 75th anniversary of Disney's enduring classic Alice in Wonderland, this young adult sequel follows teenaged Alice on a curious new adventure down the rabbit hole, many years after her first visit to Wonderland. Wonderland is a world of Alice's own. Or is it? Years after her first tumble down the rabbit hole, Alice returns to Wonderland for good. As a young woman with limited options in 19th century London, only Wonderland can grant her the freedom she craves, like the chance to open a traveling magical tea shop. Even though Alice expects madness from familiar faces like Hatter, Hare, and the Cheshire Cat, she doesn't expect to meet another real-world teenager--one who claims she is the "true" Alice and the first adventurer to explore Wonderland. Soon, the Queen of Hearts' soldiers capture both girls and bring them to the castle, and more startling truths come to light: dozens of other so-called "Alices" have appeared in Wonderland, too. Based on a strange prophecy, the Queen believes one Alice is destined to save Wonderland from utter peril: three ghastly mock dragons who have invaded from another realm. Whoever can stop the mock dragons will be named "The Alice" . . . while the others will be exiled, never allowed to return. Determined to secure Wonderland's future and her own, Alice sets out on a daring quest, equipped only with her enchanted tea set. Hesitant to trust any other Alices, she forms a tenuous alliance with a strange boy with a connection to the fearful jabberwocks of lore. But is Alice truly the Alice in Wonderland, or a mere footnote in another heroine's story?

But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River Shara, the greatest explorer ever known, arrives in her village and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister Lusha, as everyone had expected—for his next expedition. This is Kamzin’s chance to prove herself—even though River’s mission to retrieve a rare talisman for the emperor means climbing Raksha, the tallest and deadliest mountain in the Aryas. Then Lusha sets off on her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer who is determined to best River, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to her: protecting her sister from the countless perils of the climb or beating her to the summit. The challenges of climbing Raksha are unlike anything Kamzin expected—or prepared for—with avalanches, ice chasms, ghosts, and even worse at every turn. And as dark secrets are revealed, Kamzin must unravel the truth of their mission and of her companions—while surviving the deadliest climb she has ever faced.

Lämminsydäminen ja lumoava Emily Wilde -sarja jatkuu. Emily Wilde on tutkinut haltioita koko elämänsä, ja nyt hän on heittäytymässä tähänastisista tutkimuksistaan vaarallisimpaan: haltiavaltakunnan syvimpien salojen opetteluun - ja vieläpä sen kuningattarena. Entisen kilpailijansa ja nykyisen kihlattunsa Wendell Bamblebyn kanssa Emily nousee Wendellin kuningaskunnan valtaistuimelle. Asiantuntijuudestaan huolimatta hän tuntee olonsa ensi alkuun yhtä ulkopuoliseksi kuin ihmistenkin keskuudessa. Miten hänen kaltaisensa vaatimaton tieteilijä voisi olla kuningatar? Emilyn on kuitenkin päästävä epäilyksistään, sillä Wendellin äitipuoli kirosi valtakunnan ennen kuin katosi ja kirouksen rikkominen vaatii kaiken Wendellin taikuuden ja Emilyn tietouden. Heather Fawcett on kirjoittanut useita kirjoja lapsille ja nuorille. Emily Wilde on hänen ensimmäinen aikuisille suunnattu sarjansa. Fawcettilla on maisterintutkinto kirjallisuudesta, ja hän on työskennellyt arkeologina, valokuvaajana, teknisenä kirjoittajana ja Shakespeare-teatterifestivaalin avustajana.

Agnes Aubert leads a meticulously organized life, and she likes it that way. As the proudly type-A manager of a cat rescue charity, she has devoted her life to finding forever homes for stray cats. Now it’s the shelter that needs a new home.

Then one day a glamorous magician comes looking for Havelock, putting the magic shop—and the cat shelter—in jeopardy. To save the shelter, Agnes will have to team up with the magician who nearly ended the world . . . and may now be trying to steal her heart. Havelock is everything Agnes thinks she doesn’t need in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure. But as she gets to know him, she discovers that he’s more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue—and romance—in her life. After all, second chances aren’t just for rescue cats. . . .

All strays are welcome here. From Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Heather Fawcett comes a healing and heart-warming fantasy with magic shops, rescue cats and a second chance at love. Agnes Aubert is very fond of making lists. These lists kept her afloat when she lost her husband two years ago. And now, as the founder of a cat rescue charity, her meticulous organization skills feel like the only thing standing between her beloved cats - His Majesty, Banshee and sweet elderly Thoreau, to name a few - and utter disaster. But when Agnes is forced to move the charity, she soon discovers that her new shop is being used as a front; right under her feet is the lair of the decidedly disorganised - not to mention self-absorbed and infuriatingly handsome - Havelock Renard. Havelock is everything Agnes thinks she doesn't need in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure. But as she gets to know him, she discovers he's more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue - and romance - in her life. After all, second chances aren't just for rescue cats. . .

A woman who runs a cat rescue in 1920s Montreal turns to a grouchy but charming wizard to help save the shelter in this heartwarming cozy fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Wilde series. Agnes Aubert leads a meticulously organized life--and she likes it that way. As the proudly type-A manager of a much-needed cat rescue charity, she has devoted her life to finding forever homes for lost cats. But after she is forced to move the cat shelter, Agnes learns that her new landlord is using her charity as a front--for an internationally renowned and thoroughly disreputable magic shop. Owned by the disorganized--not to mention self-absorbed, irritating, but also decidedly handsome--Havelock Renard, magician and failed Dark Lord, the shop draws magical clientele from around the world, partly due to the quality of Havelock's illicit goods as well as their curiosity about his shadowy past and rumors of his incredible powers. Agnes's charity offers the perfect cover for illegal magics. Agnes couldn't care less about the shop--magical intrigue or not, there are cats to be rescued. But when an enemy from Havelock's past surfaces, the magic shop--and more importantly, the cat shelter--are suddenly in jeopardy. To save the shelter, will Agnes have to set aside her social conscience and protect the man who once tried to bring about the apocalypse--and is now trying to steal her heart?
