Emily Wilde è una geniale studiosa del Popolo fatato e nella sua enciclopedia ha catalogato leggende e segreti sulle creature magiche, anche grazie all'aiuto dell'affascinante - snervantemente affascinante - collega Wendell Bambleby. Ma Bambleby non è solo un erudito tanto brillante quanto intollerabilmente bello: in realtà è un re delle fate esiliato, in fuga dalla matrigna assassina e alla ricerca di una porta per tornare al suo regno.

Emily Wilde è brava in molte cose: è la massima esperta di fate; è una studiosa geniale, una ricercatrice meticolosa e sta scrivendo la prima enciclopedia al mondo dedicata alle leggende su queste creature. Ma Emily Wilde non è brava con le persone. E infatti, quando, nell'autunno del 1909, arriva nel remoto villaggio di Hrafnsvik, non ha alcuna intenzione di fare amicizia con i burberi abitanti. Né tanto meno le interessa trascorrere del tempo con l'altro nuovo arrivato: Wendell Bambleby, suo rivale accademico, in grado di ammaliare chiunque.
