Description
Her boat. Her rules. His music. Their hearts . . .
Marin has always belonged on the great blue sea. Betrayed by love, she lives and works as a supply runner, sailing from island to island, delivering an array of goods with Perri the sea serpent and Ree the sailor shrub as her crew.
On one of her routine trips to the capital, Alyssium, Marin finds a revolution underway - and a friend in the line of fire.
What starts as a rescue evolves into a deal: Marin will keep Dax on as a member of her crew if he pretends to be her boyfriend at the End-of-Harvest Festival back home.
But against her better judgment, Marin finds herself intrigued by his stubbornness, his passion for stories, his charming smile - and realizes that perhaps she isn't saving him. Maybe it's the other way around.
From the acclaimed author of The Spellshop, Sea of Charms is a delightful cosy fantasy romance about finding your crew, your family, and moreover, finding yourself.

As warm as it's whimsical, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a beautiful, profoundly hopeful love letter to the magic of community -- Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of<i> The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches</i> The perfect comfort-read to sink into! -- Stephanie Burgis, author of<i> Wooing the Witch Queen</i> Reading The Enchanted Greenhouse is like cozying up with a mug of hot chocolate on a snowy winter morning. A charming ensemble of characters, delightful mythical beings, and a sprinkle of wondrous magic make this world one you'll want to linger in well past the final page. -- M. Stevenson, author of <i>Behooved</i> Reading this book was like sitting in the sun, watching bees in the foxgloves; a warm, peaceful delight of a novel. You can almost smell the jam, and hear the ocean. I finished the book smiling. -- Katherine Arden, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of<i> The Bear and the Nightingale </i>on <i>The Spellshop</i>More details
