Where to start?

  • Manners & Monsters

    In Regency London being dead doesn't stop you from attending a ball. Monsters have manners. A quiet scholar and an insufferable viscount investigate unusual crimes.

  • Leaf & Scale

    A plantswoman in rural England, a carnivorous vine, and an origami dragon brought to life by a storm. Cozy fantasy where the magic grows in the hedgerows.

    Start with The Stormborne Vine 

  • Tournament of Shadows

    The first woman in centuries to wield magic, and England would rather she hadn't. Sera has been someone else's pawn long enough — a darker tale with rather more at stake.

I absolutely love your books

I absolutely love your books, Tilly. It is such a wonderful fantasy series that is completely free of profanity or sexual content, making it a pure, wholesome escape. I truly feel like I live inside the story and travel right alongside the characters on their adventures. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the magic of reading!

I really enjoyed this whole series

I really enjoyed this whole series. The heroine was delightful and the world she inhabited was so unique and unlike my usual Regency romances. There was humor and suspense. Even the minor characters were interesting and well developed.

Eagerly awaiting her next release.

I just discovered Tilly Wallace last month and I have already gone through her entire available library. I couldn't get enough! I love her way of writing and she never fails to keep my attention and on the edge of my seat. Her characters are so easy to get attached to and I love how three of her series' intertwine with each other. I will continue to follow her and I await with baited breath for her next release!

It was amazing and worth the price

It was amazing! Worth the price. I enjoyed it so much I went back and re-listened to the entire Manners and Monsters series to really enjoy the Easter eggs. PLEASE WRITE MORE MONSTERS AND MANNERS SERIES!

What a spectacular read! I totally lost myself in Sarah’s world and the beautifully portrayed

What a spectacular read! I totally lost myself in Sarah’s world and the beautifully portrayed 1800s struggle for women to find their own identity. The storyline is completely unpredictable and kept me hooked throughout. I love that it stays light rather than dark, balancing impactful relationships with subtle execution. Plus, it gave me major wanderlust—Scotland is officially at the top of my travel bucket list now!

A really good listen

I have adored reading about Seraphina and Hugh, who I originally met in the Manners and Monsters series.The Narrator, Marian Hussey is one of my favourites and it’s always an extra bonus when the narrator can bring something to a really good book. I can recommended listening (or reading) to Tilly’s other other books too.I always find her literary offering a pleasure.

Great audiobook collection

Imaginative, clever and consistent world building. The stories are fun and well crafted. The characters are interesting, complex, growing people, and the narration is skilled enough to become invisible. I listened to the whole series twice.

Love this story!

Love this story! I wasn’t sure how it was going to go even though I thought I did before starting to listen. It surprised me with all the little stories within stories. I have not been disappointed by Tilly Wallace and I wasn't here. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good love story with dragons.
