PORTAL to #2 in Series
Introduction: Silverton Foundations
You’ve arrived at the Roots & Branches portal post to the 2nd installment of Through the Yew Hedge: A Tale of Identity Magic, my serialized magical realism novella by Islay Corwin (pen name).
Hello & Welcome!
Today’s installment returns us to the origins of the Village of Silverton. We open with the lay of the land, Elizabeth Silverton’s dream of a living botanical sanctuary, its scholars, botanists, herbalists, healers, and garden caretakers, and the moment Sarah Caldwell arrives on the Estate.
What to Expect ~
Silverton’s earliest days
Elizabeth’s creation
Sarah’s first visit as Curator
The Garden’s response to Sarah
Helen and Sarah’s move into the Tudor manor
P.S. If this is your first visit, you can begin with the Prologue anytime via the portal to Section The Garden Between Worlds of Roots & Branches.
Thank you for being here!
Mary Ellen and Islay
