The Enchanted Realm by Stephen Moody

She thought the portal led somewhere else. It led to herself.

Serena Cassidy has a life that looks fine from the outside. A house. A husband. A mother she tends with quiet devotion. What she doesn’t have is any sense that the woman living it is actually her.

Then a carnival magician presses a glowing crystal amulet into her palm.

It opens a portal to an enchanted realm of impossible color and carnival lights, and to Ignazio, a dark-haired artist who sees her as no one ever has. She returns again and again, falling deeper into the magic, into him, into a self she had almost forgotten.

Her mother is fading. Her marriage is fracturing. And the life she left behind demands she choose.

Lush, sensual, and quietly devastating, The Enchanted Realm is magical realism romance for readers who believe the most extraordinary worlds are the ones we make ourselves.
