Duncton Chronicles / Book of Silence Books in Order

Tryfan accompanies Boswell to Uffington, carrying a task entrusted to him by his parents. Their journey encounters a spreading religious persecution as Henbane's followers impose the Word and threaten moles faithful to the Stone.

Under Mandrake's harsh rule, the moles of Duncton Wood have lost much of their old solidarity. Bracken challenges that oppression, while his love for Mandrake's daughter Rebecca intertwines with the community's neglected faith in the Stone.

Henbane's grikes dominate moledom, while her son Lucerne strengthens the campaign against followers of the Stone. Tryfan must guide Beechen, whose prophesied role offers hope to a community facing persecution and the destruction of its faith.

A century after the earlier Duncton struggles, Privet searches for the mysterious Book of Silence. Stour and Rooster become part of that quest as the Newborn movement, led by Thripp, threatens the moles' established spiritual world.

Privet and her adopted son Whillan continue their search for the Book of Silence as Newborn power grows. Meanwhile, Stour and Pumpkin face the task of defending Duncton's library against forces determined to reshape moledom.

Quail's Newborn tyranny tightens its grip on moledom while resistance gathers around Duncton and Uffington. Privet's continuing search for the Book of Silence intersects with the struggle to protect the moles' freedom and spiritual inheritance.
