BETWEEN MARGINS AND MAGIC
The pitch: A love-letter to the romantasy genre, in BETWEEN MARGINS AND MAGIC a risk-adverse fangirl discovers her favorite book hero is not fictional, and she must live the adventure she only ever reads about to save his very real fantasy world. Combining the “fish out of water” protagonist of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming with the “book-within-a-book” hook of Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan, this is a spicy standalone adult novel.
When Dani spots a stunning man who looks like the famous romantasy hero Voss from The Realm of Two Moons series, she assumes it’s just Renaissance Faire cosplay. Normally, you couldn’t pay Dani to approach a handsome stranger, but today she’s proving that she can take risks! When Voss takes Dani through a portal and she sees the actual two moons, Dani realizes that her favorite author has been stealing plot lines from very real people and places. This fantasy is reality. And it has dragons.
Voss needs Dani to access the untapped well of Earth’s magic—stronger at the Ren Faire because of the concentration of people like Dani with vivid imaginations—to help restore the magic a rival king is draining from Voss’s land. As a reader, Dani understands this antagonist and the dangers of this domain, but can she become the romantasy heroine the realm needs? Dani must learn to embrace her inner main character energy to stop flawed men from destroying the magic of her favorite fantasy world and beloved Renaissance Faire for good.
Confront the baddies. Defeat the dragon. Get the guy. Save the world(s). It’s every reader’s dream, right?
