Through the Iron Gate: The Rosemere Records

CedarPress, 2026

Elizabeth Silverton, a Welsh medieval scholar and botanist, bequeathed her sprawling New England preserve with a manor house and monastic-style herb gardens to the University that bore her family name. A century after Elizabeth's tenure, resident curator Dr. Sarah Caldwell discovered an infant girl in the garden. In time, three ancient fae revealed their influence on Elizabeth's garden. Sarah documented strange encounters between her adopted daughter, Stella, and the plant life, and intensified her protective role when Stella developed a frightening response to mirrors. One of the Three Who Remained, the Cedar Dryad, offered little comfort, telling Stella that Mirror-sight, both a gift and a liability, had been passed from her first mother's half-fae bloodline. The Silverton Estate continued to conceal and reveal its secrets. In a cabinet hidden in a wall panel in Elizabeth's long-abandoned Rosemere Cottage, Stella and her folklorist grandmother, Helen, found a mysterious list of clientele and an ominous botanical cipher. With evidence of a lost sibling, more questions: Who was treated, and who was turned away? What was the cost of Stella's survival? Through the Iron Gate**, the second literary novella in the Silverton Estate Duology, is a botanical gothic mystery of archival secrecy, an elegy of selective mercy, severed lineage, and the grief and dangerous grace of stories told to protect what cannot be undone.** For readers of Emily Tesh, Daphne du Maurier, and Diane Setterfield.
