The Greenhollow Duology : Silver in the Wood, Drowned Country by Emily Tesh
"A true story of the woods, of the fae, and of the heart. Deep and green and wonderful.”
—New York Times bestselling author Naomi Novik
Emily Tesh’s World Fantasy Award-winning Greenhollow Duology takes place in a gaslamp, Victorian-inspired secondary world that calls on the rich folklore of pastoral England, particularly the Green Man legends, with a light touch and a modern sensibility. It’s a compelling blend of myth, mystery, romance, action, and heartbreak, all wrapped up in beautiful, polished prose.
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.

"A true story of the woods, of the fae, and of the heart. Deep and green and wonderful.”—New York Times bestselling author Naomi Novik
"The tender, frustrated romance between the dramatic Henry and taciturn Tobias shines. Tesh’s second outing is elegant, evocative, and irresistible."—Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Drowned Country
"Complex, dreamy. . . . A beautiful tale full of quiet courage, magic rooted in the soil or the curling branches of trees, and a strong, determined queer love."—Booklist, starred review, on Drowned Country
"A wildly evocative and enchanting story of old forests, forgotten gods, and new love. Just magnificent."—Jenn Lyons, on Silver in the Wood
"Alive with old magic, Silver in the Wood made my hair stand on end even as it beckoned me to go deeper, and in the end I couldn't resist."—C. L. Polk, on Silver in the Wood
"It is easy to praise flash and sparkle, but the beauty of the simple and lighter-than-air is more difficult to capture. Silver in the Wood's sparkle is that of clear water; its flash the snap of a crackling fire, and Tesh's prose reads like returning to a dream long-forgotten or a song half-remembered. It is, needless to say, excellent."—Alexandra Rowland, on Silver in the Wood
“Tesh lured me into her rich fairytale narrative with the warmth and strangeness, then hooked me on her intricate characters. Silver in the Wood is a novella of quiet yearning and old secrets, gentle woodsmen and fierce dryads and mothers you really shouldn’t mess with.”—Kerstin Hall, on Silver in the Wood
"Find a quiet place in a nearby wood, listen to the trees whisper, and thank the old gods and new for this beautiful little book, of which I intend to get lost in again and again."—Book Riot, on Silver in the Wood
"Drowned Country is even more of a triumph than its stellar predecessor. . . . It’s great to read queer romances, and it’s even better to read complex queer romances."—Geekly, Inc., on Drowned Country
"If you’re looking for a strong ensemble of characters, high stakes, and a delicious tension-filled lovers quarrel, it doesn’t get any better than this."—Book Riot, on Drowned Country
"The love story between Henry and Tobias is a charming addition to the plot as they rekindle their former relationship during their journey. . . . Following Silver in the Wood, this latest installment is just as magical."—Library Journal, on Drowned Country
"Exquisitely crafted. . . . This fresh, evocative short novel heralds a welcome new voice in fantasy."—Publishers Weekly, on Silver in the Wood
"Drowned Country really is a beautiful book, the sort that makes you happy to live in a world where you can read it. It abounds in humour, adventure, tenderness, magic, and a sort of poetry. The story is peopled with characters I care about, and above all, it is haunted by a Wood that I both dream of and fear to be lost in."—Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, on Drowned Country
"A gorgeous novella that feels somewhere between fairy tale and myth, only it’s the kind of myth that is probably true."—Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, on Silver in the Wood
