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. Reading the Greenhollow duology is not unlike reading an old English folktale, as if you found a tattered century-old volume in the back of a used bookstore and sat down on the floor to peruse. 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.Įven the Wild Man of Greenhollow can't ignore a summons from his mother, when that mother is the indomitable Adela Silver, practical folklorist. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes. 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. There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood. Emily Tesh presents Books 1 and 2 in the Greenhollow duology.
