Epistolary novel fans, take note! Scientist Emily Wilde shares her field notes as she researches fae on a fictional Scandinavian island. Ljosland’s fae are the final piece for the encyclopedia she’s been working on for years and which will put her career on the map. She’s not exactly thrilled when her colleague Wendell appears uninvited. He’s the perfect counterpart to her prickly antisocial self, however. The fact that she’s pretty sure he’s secretly fae doesn’t hurt either. Whether dealing with abduction via a winter king or a changeling-cursed house, you’ll be rooting for Emily and Wendell as each adventure unfolds.

Leigh says: I hope this fantasy novel leads to more people loving cats. It made me love them even more! Agnes needs to find a new location for her cat shelter but has no idea her new place is a front for the dreaded Witch King aka Havelock, who is not that dreadful at all. I adored everything about this! Havelock opining on magic theory. Agnes organizing his Artefacts because she can't handle what a mess his rooms are and how on earth can he ever find anything?! All the cats' personalities and the people who come to adopt them. The way this explored Agnes's grief after the death of her husband Robin. The slow burgeoning romance between Agnes and Havelock. I would read so many more stories about Agnes, Havelock, and crew.
