Robert Silverwood was born in 1984 in Cornwall and studied medieval literature at the University of Exeter before working as a bookseller and museum guide. He began publishing short fantasy in small magazines in the early 2010s and is known for worldbuilding that blends maritime folklore with lyrical adventure. Silverwood lives in Bristol with his partner and a rescue lurcher, and spends off days hiking coastal paths, sketching old lighthouses, and volunteering with a community arts program. His previous novels include The Brass Orchard and The Larkspur Ledger, and his short fiction has been featured in several UK anthologies.
