What to expect
Set in a cosy, heartwarming world brimming with singing flowers, honey cakes and honeyed love, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a story about giving second chances – to others and to yourself. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop, Sarah Beth Durst.
‘Full of magic, wonder and gentle romance . . . The perfect comfort read’
– Stephanie Burgis, author of Wooing the Witch Queen
Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely.
She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she is turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the Great Library of Alyssium.
When, years later, Terlu wakes up, she finds herself on a nearly deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. The only other human on the island is a grumpy – but surprisingly sweet – gardener. He offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes and freshly baked honey cakes – at least until she’s ready to sail home.
But Terlu can’t return, and doesn’t want to. And when she learns that the magic that sustains the greenhouses is failing – causing the death of everything within them – Terlu knows she must stay and help. Even if that means breaking the law again.
Assisted by the gardener, a sentient rose, and a winged cat, Terlu must uncover the spell that will save the island – and possibly also find herself a fresh chance at love and happiness along the way.
Funny, kind and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse is the enchanting sequel to The Spellshop.
