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.

I enjoyed Silver in the Wood. I have the second book in the duology, Drowned Country which I'm very much looking forward to reading. This is a short book of epic proportions. I read it in one sitting and I didn't want the book to end. This is a book of magic, loss, love and obsession with threads of light and dark. I found it beautiful yet sad and haunting.
