A weekend away that has lasted a century. True love's kiss can't break this spell ... A cosy, romantic fantasy mystery for all fans of Rebecca Ross, Legends and Lattes and Assistant to the Villain.


A hundred years ago, Genevieve and Oliver spent an amazing weekend together in Riverswood manor. They wished they could stay there forever ... and then their wish come true.

Blessed with immortality but trapped for eternity, the two former lovers are now thoroughly tired of one another's company. Then, one dark and stormy night, a stranger called Ella arrives with a cheery disposition and a secret that could be the key to their salvation. With the help of Ella and the return of their best friend, Fionn, Genevieve and Oliver learn more about Riverswood's tangled history.

If they can come to terms with their own feelings, and the truth that has kept them locked away, they might stand a chance at breaking this curse. True love certainly hasn't worked.

'The definition of a comfort read. Riverswood manor and Almond's cast of characters glow with the same warm depth of detail and loveability that shines from every page. Thoroughly Disenchanted revels in the power of belonging, both to people and to place. If you are on the hunt for a cosy, contemporary fantasy with a love story that foregrounds friendship (and more than a dash of heartwarming queer romance), then this is the story for you.' Sarah Street, author of A Curse of Salt
