Nový román Sarah Beth Durst vás opět zve do světa z románu Krámek s kouzly. Příběh se tentokrát odehrává na vzdáleném ostrově plném zpívajících květin, dávných tajemství a vůně medových koláčů. Knihovnice Terla Perna neuváženě porušila zákon, když si v osamělosti pomocí kouzla stvořila přítele – inteligentní rostlinu. Za trest byla proměněna v dřevěnou sochu a pro výstrahu umístěna v severní čítárně alysijské Říšské knihovny. Tím mohl její příběh skončit, avšak jednoho dne se vyhladovělá a promrzlá probudí v zasněžené krajině takřka opuštěného ostrůvku se stovkami kouzelných skleníků. Jediným obyvatelem ostrova je nerudný zahradník Florián, který jí kupodivu nabídne čisté šaty, čerstvé medové koláče a nocleh – alespoň na pár dní, než připluje loď, která by ji vzala domů. Terla se však k návratu nemá a svým způsobem roztomilý zahradník jí pomalu přirůstá k srdci stejně jako celý ostrov. Když zjistí, že kouzla udržující skleníky v chodu, jedno po druhém selhávají a vzácné rostliny hynou, rozhodne zkusit je zachránit, i kdyby to znamenalo opět porušit zákon. Tentokrát na to však není sama. S pomocí Floriána a svérázné pouštní růže se pokouší odhalit tajemství dávno mrtvého čaroděje a znovu se pouští do čarování, aby zachránila ostrov, kde jak doufá, najde své ...
