Let this entirely enchanting, slow burn, light academia fantasy whisk you away to an alt-Iceland full of warm-hearted villagers and cold-hearted Fae, changelings and buried kings—and one curmudgeonly professor conducting fieldwork on faerie lore and her charismatic dandy of an academic rival (who may or may not be a Fae in disguise and may or may not have feelings for her). Highly recommend this series-starter for fans of Naomi Novik & Katherine Arden!
