Somewhere Beyond The SeaArthur Parnassus has built a good life on the ashes of a bad one. He's headmaster at an orphanage for magical children on a peculiar island, assisted by the love of his life, Linus Baker. And together, they'll do anything to protect their extraordinary and powerful charges.However, when Arthur is forced to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself fighting for those under his care. It's also a fight for the better future that all magical people deserve. Then, when a new magical child joins their island home, Arthur knows they've reached breaking point. The child finds power in calling himself a monster, a name Arthur has tried so hard to banish to protect his children. Challenged from within and without, their volatile family might grow stronger. Or everything Arthur loves could fall apart.TJ KluneTJ Klune is the #1 New York Times and #1 USA Today bestselling, Lambda Literary Award–winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, Under the Whispering Door, In the Lives of Puppets, the Green Creek Series for adults, the Extraordinaries Series for teens, and more.
