Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Welcome to Bascom, North Carolina, where it seems that everyone has a story to tell about the Waverley women. The house that's been in the family for generations, the walled garden that mysteriously blooms year-round, the rumours of dangerous loves and tragic passions. Every Waverley woman is somehow touched by magic.

Claire has always clung to the Waverleys' roots, tending the enchanted soil in the family garden from which she makes her sought-after delicaciesβ€”famed and feared for their curious effects. She has everything she thinks she needs until one day she wakes to find a stranger has moved in next door and a tendril of ivy has crept into her garden...

Claire's carefully tended life is about to run gloriously out of control.

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen invites you to a world where enchantment meets everyday life, weaving a tale of family, love, and the magic of the unexpected.
