Fiction by Islay Corwin
The Silverton Estate Series
Set in the centuries-old grounds of a medieval botanical estate, the Silverton Estate Series follows adoptee Stella Caldwell as she uncovers the fae bargains and sealed records that shaped her origins. Rooted in Celtic myth and botanical gothic atmosphere, these novellas weave identity magic, inherited silence, and the reclamation of self across two volumes.
Book One
Through the Yew Hedge
A Tale of Identity Magic
On a Winter Solstice dawn, Dr. Sarah Caldwell discovers an infant in the medieval botanical garden of the Silverton Estate. She names the child Stella, and comes to understand that three fae guardians have woven the threads of her beginnings. A novella of magical realism, truth-telling, and the need to belong.
Book Two
Through the Iron Gate
The Rosemere Records
A year after her birth mother's death, Stella Caldwell has a new fae name and a new question: the name of a brother she never knew existed. When hidden archives at the Silverton Estate reveal a decades-old bargain, Stella is drawn into a reckoning that spans generations. A lyrical story about inherited silence and the cost of selective mercy.
"This is a masterful and unusual work for those who love stories of family, myth, and the reclamation of self. An unforgettable, healing journey. Highly recommended for fans of literary fantasy and emotionally layered contemporary fairy tales." Julie Ryan McGue, Adoptee & Author of Twice a Daughter
