Synopsis

In a glittering, hard-edged city, a young man meets temptation, duty, and a chance at true belonging.

Enchanted Ground follows a bold journey through the frenetic streets of Manhattan, where a liberated modern world challenges a young man’s sense of self. Amid bright storefronts and noisy avenues, he learns what courage and kindness can mean when lives collide, and when love asks him to choose what truly matters.

Across tense encounters, sharp wit, and intimate confidences, the book explores ambition, romance, and the costs of pride. It sketches a chorus of characters who care, quarrel, and find moments of grace in a world that never stops moving.

• Experience the pull between independence and responsibility as characters navigate work, love, and home.


• Meet a cast whose ambitions collide with deeper loyalties, offering nuanced portrayals of self-discovery.


• Watch relationships unfold across social worlds, with humor, tension, and quiet moments of insight.


• Follow moments of courage and forgiveness that reshape futures and redefine belonging.

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven stories set against a vivid urban backdrop, where every choice reshapes a life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Where the rivers meet the sea stands the City. The great ships come to her from the four comers of the earth; they wait, straining at the leash, innumerable, along her proud shores. Over bridges that hang, Hke dream-phantoms, high above the waters, through tunnels that plunge deep below the waters, where no living thing ever moved before, she draws in her countless hosts of toil. The sun, lifting his head out of the deep, hangs shields of gold upon the fretted windows of her soaring towers, and flings his javelins of splendour against her domes and pinnacles. In her teeming streets all nations of men traflfic with one another. The rich and the hungry poor are jostled together. Poverty and nakedness stare with wild eyes from her noisome alleys; wealth such as the Orient never knew is daily amassed, daily dispended, in her markets. It is a City of Power, a City of consuming A mbition, a Babel that would ravish heaven of its secret and silence. It is a City of Youth. Like the fabled bird of A rabia, she renews herself in the ashes of her past.
