'Sweet, charming, and wonderful!' Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop When Sadie Brooks unexpectedly loses her marketing job, she flees New York City to spend the summer with her best friend in small-town Texas, where joining his Dungeons & Dragons campaign is the perfect distraction while she plans her next steps. In the game, she becomes Jaylie, a powerful human cleric blessed by the Goddess of Luck. But in real life, Sadie believes her luck has run out - until she meets Noah Walker, the outgoing bartender roped into joining their party as Loren, an adventurous and charismatic lute-strumming elf. Just as Jaylie finds herself succumbing to the bard's charms over the course of their party's travels, Sadie also begins to fall under Noah's spell. As their relationship progresses in both worlds, Sadie wonders if what they have might last beyond the game. But like his travelling bard character, Noah never stays in one place for long. When a new opportunity arises in New York, Sadie must face the truth about why she lost her job in the first place - and whether she and Noah have found something in Texas worth staying for. Torn between her career dreams in the city and the exciting uncertainty of a new adventure, she will have no choice but to roll the dice. 'Roll for Romance lands a critical hit! This swoony and nerdy romance had me kicking my feet and blushing the entire time' Mallory Marlowe, author of Love And Other Conspiracies

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.

A half-magic girl learns about heroism and taking action when she and her sister confront a wizard who endangers others for her own gain. Even and Odd are sisters who share magic. Lately, though, it seems like that's the only thing they have in common. Odd doesn't like magic, and Even practices it every chance she gets, dreaming of the day she'll be ready to be a hero. When the hidden border between the mundane world the sisters live in and the magical land they were born in shuts abruptly, the girls are trapped, unable to return home. With the help of a unicorn named Jeremy, they discover a wizard is diverting magic from the border to bolster her own power. Families are cut off from each other on both sides of the border, and an ecological disaster is brewing. But the wizard cares nothing for the calamitous effects her appropriation of magic is having. Someone has to do something to stop her, and Even realizes she can no longer wait until she's ready: she needs to be a hero now.
