Magic Under Manhattan
by RC & JP Carter

A Portal Romantasy | Fantasy Romance with Dragons and Magic
Aurora Quinn is a junior editor at a niche publishing house in Soho, living a quiet, predictable life in Midtown Manhattan—until her routine subway commute changes everything. When Aurora steps onto a subway car marked with the number 4488, a mysterious conductor hands her an old subway token and warns her to keep it hidden. Moments later, he vanishes without a trace.

At her usual stop, Aurora expects concrete beneath her feet—but instead finds herself standing on grass. The subway disappears, and she realizes she has crossed into another world.

A shadow passes overhead. A dragon soars through the sky, its armored rider loosing an arrow that narrowly misses Aurora and strikes a troll mounted on a gargoyle. In an instant, Aurora is thrust into Aelthryn, a dangerous and enchanting realm of high magic and ancient power.

This portal romantasy weaves romance and adventure through a richly imagined fantasy world filled with dragons, gargoyles, castles, trolls, imps, wizards, magicians, shape-shifters, and dark secrets—where destiny, desire, and survival collide.
