Synopsis

Silver in the Wood

There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood. Tobias, tethered to the forest, does not dwell on his past life, but he lives a perfectly unremarkable existence with his cottage, his cat, and his dryads.

When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes. Old secrets better left buried are dug up, and Tobias is forced to reckon with his troubled past—both the green magic of the woods, and the dark things that rest in its heart.

Drowned Country

Even the Wild Man of Greenhollow can't ignore a summons from his mother, when that mother is the indomitable Adela Silver, practical folklorist. Henry Silver does not relish what he'll find in the grimy seaside town of Rothport, where once the ancient wood extended before it was drowned beneath the sea—a missing girl, a monster on the loose, or, worst of all, Tobias Finch, who loves him.

About Emily Tesh

Emily Tesh grew up in London and studied classics at Trinity College, Cambridge, followed by a master's degree in humanities at the University of Chicago. She now lives in Hertfordshire, where she passes her time teaching Latin and ancient Greek to schoolchildren who have done nothing to deserve it. She has a husband and a cat. Neither of them knows any Latin yet, but it is not for lack of trying. Tesh is the author of the Greenhollow duology.

Goodreads review by KMart on January 15, 2024

Emily Tesh's The Greenhollow Duology is super enchanting with a delightful blend of fantasy and folkloric elements. It reads like a fairytale and reminds me a whole lot of T. Kingfisher's Paladin series. Adorable, funny, and charming with a sweet MLM romance.......more

Goodreads review by Ali on April 17, 2025

Reading your second book by an author of a first read book you adored is always anxiety inducing. I adored Some Desperate Glory in the annoyingly pushy to get everyone to read it way, and the premise of this felt so wildly (heh) different but so more up my alley than the premise of that. The good ne......more
