Love grows in the most unimaginable of places in Summer N. England's sweet and spicy cozy romantasy debut, for fans of The Spellshop and For Whom the Belle Tolls! Most stories end with a happily ever after. But mine? Well, it begins with one ... After a lonely childhood, Clara Thorne is living out her happy ending as the magically gifted gardener for the town of Moss. Sure, her closest companion is a surly hedgehog, and she's forever stuck on the first line of her novel, but she has a home. That is, until The Goddess chooses Clara for an important quest--travel to the cursed town of Dwindle and grow them a garden. In less than a month. Only Clara's hiding a terrible secret: her magic doesn't work outside Moss. Worse, The Goddess has assigned the absurdly sexy, annoyingly cheerful Hesper Altanfall to keep her safe. Clara would rather eat thorns than accept help--especially since Hesper insists that Clara's magic is bound to her heart, not her home. Nevertheless, the two can't help growing closer as they traverse enchanted woods and share tavern beds. But with an ancient evil threatening from the shadows, saving Dwindle will require more than enchanted crops. Clara will need to unearth a magic she's always believed impossible.
About the Author
About the Author
Summer N. England is indeed her real name (and yes, you are allowed to poke fun at her about this). She holds not one, nay, two degrees in Shakespeare and Performance and is currently an actress, music director, and digital content creator. When not blabbering on stage and writing off stage, Summer can be found doing quite literally 17,000 different ADHD-motivated projects around her house, water-coloring, playing the decidedly evil pirate to her kid's morally gray pirate, reading whilst walking, and not sitting still while watching When Harry Met Sally for the 6th time in one day.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Warm and wonderful! THE IMPOSSIBLE GARDEN OF CLARA THORNE is the kind of book that blossoms in your heart!"--Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of THE SPELLSHOP
"A stunningly magical and sexy debut. Clara and Hester are the couple I've been waiting for--powerfully magical enemies to lovers, with a slow burn that ignited the entire book. Couple that with a beautifully whimsical world full of mermaids and orcs and fae, animal companions I was dying to snuggle (but carefully, because hedgehog), and an edge of looming darkness, and I was hooked."--Rebecca Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of CAN'T SPELL TREASON WITHOUT TEA
"Chaotic, spicy, cozy, and full of fiercest love--this could only have come from the impossible heart of Summer N. England."--Devrie Brynn Donalson, BookTokker and author of THE ART OF BURNING HEATHER
