Vil is a heartwarming and enchanting new fantasy series that follows Cambridge professor Emily Wilde, who is the foremost expert on the study of faeries and is writing the world's first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. However, Emily is not good with people and prefers her books, dog, and the Faeries to other people. When she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, she has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk or spending time with her dashing academic rival, Wendell Bambleby. As Emily gets closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones, the most elusive of all faeries, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery.
