Zalara Silvers

Zalara Silvers writes cozy fantasy about communities that form themselves around the people who need them most, and the quiet magic of belonging to a place that was waiting for you all along.

Her Tales from the Elderwood series follows the Elderwood community across four books — from the ancient brownie who runs a peculiar little shop at the edge of a magical grove, to the goblins who supply it, the brownies who tend it, and the strangers who keep arriving with objects and histories they didn't expect to leave behind.

She is drawn to stories where kindness is the operative force, where problems are real but not catastrophic, and where the most interesting question isn't what happens next but who these people are becoming to each other.

Readers who love Travis Baldree, T. Kingfisher, and Heather Fawcett tend to feel at home in Elderwood.
