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 faraway island brimming with singing flowers, honey cakes, and honeyed love.
Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and hidden away.
This should have been the end of her story… but 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 Terlu’s surprise, he offers her a warm refuge—until she’s ready to sail home.
But Terlu doesn’t want to leave, and as she grows closer with the unwittingly charming gardener, Yarrow, she learns that the magic that sustains the greenhouses is failing. 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 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.

The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst, narrated by Caitlin Davies, is a delightful listen!
Terlu was introduced in The Spellshop as the librarian who created Caz, a sentient spider plant. It's a crime for non-sorcerers to perform magic, and she was punished by being "statuified." Six years later, she finds herself "unstatuified" and on an island unknown to her. This wintry island is inhabited by a grumpy gardener and an enchanted greenhouse, which really consists of many greenhouses connected by a series of doors. Each greenhouse holds different wonders, but the magic is starting to falter, and some of the greenhouses are dying—along with the plants inside. It's up to Terlu and her new friends to save them.
This book has a delightful cast of characters, from pollinating teacup dragons to a band of sentient plants. The characters are what I loved most about this story. If you want to read something that feels like a warm hug, this is it.
