Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist. When he and his friend and flatmate Charlie are standing at the exact longitude and latitude that defines Argleton, Matt sets in motion a chain of events that will take him places he didn’t know existed… and which perhaps don’t.

Every year, on May Day, a young woman is stolen away by the faeries to become their Queen for a year. This year, though, the faeries have bitten off more than they can chew. Shakti Nayar will do whatever it takes to get her own life as a botanist back. As she struggles to work out how to get home, she uncovers Faerie’s dark secret and finds that she is not the only human who needs saving.

The Academi dictionary says 'bwganllyd, arswydus, brawychus, dychrynllyd', but you're as likely to see spwci as anything. The habit of Welsh speakers to steal loan words from English whenever they have forgotten the Welsh words makes it much easier, in some respects, for learners.
Are -(n)llyd and -us adjective-forming suffixes? Warning: I will hare off on linguistic tangents as long as anyone is paying attention, and often longer.
