BETWEEN MARGINS AND MAGIC
Dani Walker is not a woman to take a risk, but she’ll imagine being a heroine in the unpublished book three of her favorite fantasy series, The Realm of Two Moons, while at her annual girls trip to the Renaissance Faire. So when a guy in perfect cosplay of Voss, her ultimate book boyfriend from the series, asks for her help, she goes along with the roleplay game: “Voss” needs to access the untapped well of Earth’s magic–—stronger at the Renn Faire because of the concentration of people like Dani with vivid imaginations–—to restore the magic a rival king is draining from his land. But when she goes through the portal and sees the actual two moons, Dani finds this fantasy is not fiction.
​
She has to at least try to save the realm that probably saved her life (emotionally), but now it’s trying to kill her (literally). Has Dani’s extensive reading equipped her to handle fickle magic, night dragons, vengeful kings, or a love quadrangle? And a real boyfriend is much more rewarding, but far more complicated, than the version on the page. But Dani knows how to find the plot-stealing author at a regional book convention, and bringing her back through the portal could tip the scales in favor of the good guys. Dani must find her inner main character energy if she’s going to become the heroine to save this realm. Because if she doesn’t, Earth is next.
Confront the baddies. Defeat the dragon. Get the guy. Save the world(s). It’s every reader’s dream, right?
​
I’m seeking representation for BETWEEN MARGINS AND MAGIC, an adult romantasy complete at 100,000 words about a reader who discovers the cliffhanger in her favorite fantasy series is not fiction, and she must go through the portal to save her book boyfriend’s realm. It’s a love-letter to romantasy, combining the “step into a book” hook of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews with the character-driven heart (and spice!) of Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer.​​
