What you don't know can't hurt you-at least that's what people say. Those people have never harbored a secret others would kill for.

Alaira Hughes is counting down the days until graduation, dreaming of a summer of beach trips before she's whisked away to college. She doesn't know it yet, but her days in this world are numbered.

A seemingly magical path hidden in the woods leads her to a world of light. After walking away from an accident that should have killed her, the line between dream and reality begins to blur.

When a mysterious hunter tracks her down, she must team up with an otherworldly traveler with secrets of his own if she has any hope of survival. But there's more to this new world than appearances suggest. In this place, time is a foreign concept, memories a target on your back, and the past a closely guarded secret.

In the shadows, a force grows-one that threatens to overtake both worlds. Alaira's new power may be the last hope-if she can learn to control it before her enemies find her. The race is on to learn the truth.

And the truth can be deadly.

Beyond the Water's Edge is a portal fantasy adventure that takes you to a hidden realm of magic and mystery. Ideal for fans of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
