The Enchanted Greenhouse

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. *** 'As warm as it is whimsical' - Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches 'Kind, comforting and utterly delightful' - Julie Leong, bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes 'Full of magic, wonder and gentle romance . . .
