Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands (Emily Wilde, #2)

by Heather Fawcett

Scholars have documented numerous sightings of Bran Eichorn in this part of the Alps. He appears as a shadowy figure in most cases, demanding whether the traveller has seen de Grey, or simply as a voice in the distance, calling her name. But what astonished me was that several of the villagers have also seen de Grey. Over forty years ago, Eberhard was searching for a lost hound in the Adlerwald, a forest that fills one of the nearby valleys. Just off the path he came across a strange Scottish woman with vividly green hair,[*1] dressed for the snowy heights, not a forest walk. She was carrying several ribbons—a strange thing in the valleys, where locals are generally less cautious about the Folk—as well as some sort of animal horn.
