Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh

This is a gorgeous novella about a four-hundred-year-old man, who has become the main character in the local folklore, and the man who seeks him out, hoping to take his place.

Silver in the Wood is a love letter to nature and desires. Without giving anything away, this novella is ripe with vivid imagery, flawed characters, and mystical happenings in the wood itself.

I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates folktales, nature, and stories that center around fate and desire.
