The Greenhollow Duology

Silver in the Wood (The Greenhollow Duology, #1) by Emily Tesh follows Tobias, a solitary figure bound to the forest of Greenhollow, where he lives quietly with his cat and dryads. The arrival of Henry Silver, the new owner of Greenhollow Hall, disrupts this calm as hidden secrets tied to the forest’s ancient magic resurface. The story explores themes of nature, identity, and the consequences of confronting a past intertwined with mysterious and dark forces.

Drowned Country by Emily Tesh returns to the Greenhollow world with a darker, more sea-worn atmosphere, shifting from forest to a decayed coastal town. Summoned by his formidable mother, folklorist Adela Silver, Henry Silver travels to Rothport, where an ancient forest once stood before being swallowed by the sea. There he must confront a missing girl case, rumors of a dangerous supernatural creature, and the unresolved tension with Tobias Finch, whose steadfast love unsettles him as much as any monster. The novella blends low fantasy, queer romance, and British folklore into a quiet, eerie exploration of power, obligation, and the cost of living between human and fae worlds.
