Emily Wilde har vigt sitt liv och sin karriär åt att förstå och kartlägga älviska väsen runt om i världen och blivit en av de främsta experterna vid universitetet i Cambridge. När det gäller att hantera andra människor är hon däremot inte särskilt framgångsrik ett visst mått av vresighet gör inte heller saken lättare. Dessutom föredrar hon att umgås med sina böcker och sin hund. Så när Emily anländer till den vindpinade lilla byn Hrafnsvik på det kalla och ogästvänliga Ljosland är det inte för att bli vän med den kärva lokalbefolkningen, utan för att bedriva forskning kring ett hemlighetsfullt älvfolk som gäckat forskarna i många år. En vetenskaplig artikel i ämnet skulle inte bara vara en fjäder i Emilys akademiska hatt utan även den sista pusselbiten till den encyklopedi som hon arbetat med under flera års tid.

När Emilys kollega, den hopplöst pratsamme och i de flestas ögon charmerande Wendell Bambleby, till hennes förtret plötsligt bjuder in sig själv till forskningsexpeditionen tar resan dock en ny vändning. För vem är egentligen Wendell och vad är han ute efter? Emily inser snart att hon har mer än ett mysterium att tampas med. Om hon ska hitta gåtans lösning innan det är för sent kommer hon tvingas göra något hon aldrig gjort förut: Lyssna till sitt hjärta.

Emily Wildes encyklopedi över älvornas liv är första delen i den hyllade och bästsäljande serien om Emily Wilde.

"Förtrollande läsning!" Femina 

Emily Wilde är en framstående forskare som precis färdigställt världens första encyklopedi över älviska väsen. Under arbetets gång fick hon inte bara veta sanningen om ett hemlighetsfullt älvfolk, hon råkade även avslöja kollegan och före detta konkurrenten Wendell Bamblebys stora hemlighet. Bambleby är nämligen inte bara hopplöst charmig på gränsen till odräglig han är en älvkung i exil. Och han vill att Emily ska bli hans drottning. Men trots att Emilys känslor för Bambleby numera är av det varmare slaget så är hon inte redo att tacka ja till hans frieri. Dessutom har hon ett nytt forskningsprojekt på gång, den här gången är det en atlas över älvornas riken. Snart skakas dock det relativa lugnet i Cambridge i grunden när Bamblebys fiender bestämmer sig för att göra sig av med honom en gång för alla. Tillsammans måste Emily och Bambleby göra allt de kan för att hitta vägen tillbaka till hans rike innan det är för sent.

Emily Wildes atlas över älvornas riken är den andra delen i serien om Emily Wilde.

The first in a sweeping and action-packed debut fantasy duology loosely inspired by the early climbers of Mt. Everest—perfect for fans of Cindy Pon and Alison Goodman.

Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the Emperor’s royal explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry, mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a chance.

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.

The second in a sweeping and action-packed fantasy duology loosely inspired by the early climbers of Mount Everest—perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce and Kristin Cashore.

After the terrifying events on Mount Raksha, the witches have returned, and River has betrayed Kamzin to regain his dark powers. The witches’ next step: march on the Three Cities and take over the Empire—led by River’s brother, Esha.

If Kamzin is to save Azmiri and prevent the destruction of the Empire, she must find a star that fell in the Ash Mountains to the north. Fallen stars have immense power, and if Kamzin and Lusha can find the star, they can use its magic to protect their homeland. To get there, Kamzin has allied with Azar-at, the dangerous and deceptive fire demon, who can grant her great power—in exchange for pieces of her soul. But River wants the star too, and as their paths collide in dangerous and unexpected ways, Kamzin must wrestle with both her guilt and her conflicted feelings for the person who betrayed her.

Facing dark magic, a perilous journey, and a standoff against the witches, can Kamzin, Lusha, and Tem find the star and save their Empire?

""A magical, witchy, and thoroughly successful homage to a classic."" —Kirkus Reviews(starred review)

Grace has never been good at anything except magic—not that anyone believes her.

While other children are adopted from the orphanage, nobody wants Grace. 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. But if Grace fails, the witch can take her magic. The witch agrees, and soon an unexpected bond develops between them.

But the spells are much harder than Grace expected, and when a monster from the witch’s past threatens the home Grace has built, she may have to sacrifice more than her magic to save it.
