AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND INDIE BESTSELLER! New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst invites you to her new standalone novel set in the world of The Spellshop. Follow her to The Enchanted Greenhouse, a cozy fantasy 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. As she grows closer with the unwittingly charming gardener, Yarrow, 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 Yarrow 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.

Lambert, author of Never the Roses "Reading The Enchanted Greenhouse is like cozying up with a mug of hot chocolate on a snowy winter morning.
