Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one. He&rsquo\;s the headmaster of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island\, a nd he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magica l children who live there. Arthur works hard and loves with his whole hear t so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joini ng him is the love of his life\, Linus Baker\, a former caseworker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. Together\, they will do anything to protect the children. But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statem ent about his dark past\, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family\, and all magical people\, deserve.

Som ewhere Beyond the Sea \;is a story of resistance\, lovingly told\ , about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.
