The Enchanted Greenhouse
a cozy fantasy novel
by Sarah Beth Durst
coming July 2025 from Macmillan / Tor / Bramble
New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst invites you to her new standalone novel nestled on a far-away island brimming with singing
flowers, honey cakes, and honeyed love. The hardcover edition features beautiful sprayed edges.
Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a
wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium.
This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical
greenhouses. She's starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, 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 home and doesn't want to -- the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic
that sustains them is failing -- causing the death of everything within them -- Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again.
This time, though, she isn't alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to
save the island -- and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.
Funny, kind, and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a story about giving second chances -- to others and to yourself.
