Free Audiobook : Somewhere Beyond the Sea, By TJ Klune

Arthur Parnassus has managed to build a fulfilling life from the remnants of a difficult past. As the headmaster of a unique orphanage on a remote island, he cares deeply for the six magical children under his guardianship, children whom the world considers dangerous. His dream is to become their adoptive father, offering them the love and security he never had during his own troubled childhood on the same island.

Arthur is not alone in his efforts. By his side are his partner Linus Baker, a former caseworker from the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, the sprite Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they do everything in their power to shield the children from harm and give them the protection they deserve.

However, Arthur’s peaceful life is disrupted when he is summoned to confront his long-hidden past. His response to this call could shape the future, not only for his family but for all magical beings.

As a new magical child arrives, one who embraces the label of "monster"—a word Arthur has fought hard to keep from his children—Arthur realizes that their family faces a crucial test. They must either become stronger together or risk falling apart.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea returns us to Marsyas Island, telling Arthur’s story of love, resilience, and the fight for a better future.
