Sarah Beth Durst Reihenfolge der Bücher

Return to the cosy and heart-warming world of The Spellshop in The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst, a world 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 magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the Great Library of Alyssium. When 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 a fresh chance at love and happiness along the way. Funny, kind and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse by New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst is a story about giving second chances - to others and to yourself.

Weiße Magie und heiße Schokolade. Der neue Cozy-Fantasy-Bestseller von Sarah Beth Durst. Zugegeben, ihr Zauber war verboten – aber hatte man die Bibliothekarin Terlu deshalb direkt in eine Statue verwandeln müssen? Sicher nicht. Als sie nach sechs Jahren wieder aufgeweckt wird, befindet sie sich fernab der Hauptstadt des Reiches auf einer einsamen, verschneiten Insel. Um sie herum stehen zahllose Gewächshäuser, die von einem einzelnen Gärtner – Yarro – gepflegt werden. Doch etwas stimmt nicht: ein Teil der Pflanzen ist bereits gestorben, die Magie, die die Gewächshäuser beschützt, verliert an Kraft. Um die Insel zu retten (und das Herz des Gärtners zu gewinnen), wird sich Terlu einiges einfallen lassen und so manchen Zauber wirken müssen. Auch auf die Gefahr hin, dass man sie erneut für ihre Anmaßung bestraft. Für Leser*innen von Travis Baldree, T. J. Klune und Sarah Rees Brennen und T. Kingfisher

Vítejte v říši, kde skoro každé zvíře oplývá kouzelnými schopnostmi! Má to ale háček – nadání některých obyvatel je trochu… zvláštní. Třeba veverka Violka: umí čarovat, copak o to, ale pouze a jedině pečivo. A rozhodně není jediná, kdo je tak trochu jiný. Zdá se, že pro zvířátka s takovými neužitečnými schopnostmi není na světě místo, takže živoří v Útulku pro odmítnuté pomocníky. Jednoho dne však přijde bobr Oliver s neodolatelnou nabídkou: Co kdybychom ta naše nadání nějak opravili? Všichni obyvatelé Útulku nadšeně souhlasí – nic ale není tak, jak se na první pohled zdá, a odmítnuté pomocníky brzy čeká doslova boj o přežití.
