˚₊‧꒰ა magical realms ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

step through doors that open into impossible worlds, where magic isn't just real—it's as natural as breathing. this collection weaves together tales that dance on the edge of reality, where ancient prophecies meet modern wit, and where wonder still rules. here you'll find stories of chrome-plated dragons soaring over neon cities, witches who code spells into apps, kingdoms hidden in subway tunnels, and magic that sparks between netflix binges and midnight wishes. these books remind us that fantasy isn't about escaping reality—it's about seeing the extraordinary that already exists in our everyday world, just slightly tilted toward the impossible. for dreamers, believers, and anyone who's ever wondered if that shadow in the corner might actually be a portal to somewhere else.
