Showing results for "wild" in Dragons & Mythical Creatures

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.

The moon is swelling, the weight on my shoulders is compacting, and my unfailing curiosity keeps weaving its roots in the wrong direction.

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.

Né tanto meno le interessa trascorrere del tempo con l'altro nuovo arrivato: Wendell Bambleby, suo rivale accademico, in grado di ammaliare chiunque.
