A lush, folkoric romantic fantasy from debut author 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.

An ALA RUSA Reading List Selection "Exquisitely crafted. . . . This
fresh, evocative short novel heralds a welcome new voice in
fantasy."--Publishers Weekly
"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
"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 "A wildly evocative and enchanting story of
old forests, forgotten gods, and new love. Just magnificent."--Jenn
Lyons "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 "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
