About Somewhere Beyond the Sea
Arthur 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. 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, and 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.
