A living land. A forbidden vision. A boy whose quest will carry him beyond everything he has ever known. Thirteen-year-old Ray has always belonged to the Inlands: a wet, shifting world of floating ground, dangerous waters, sacred arbors, and creatures that choose their companions as surely as boys choose their futures. When Ray leaves Third Village on the manhood quest every Inlander boy must face, he expects danger. He expects fear. He expects to prove himself before returning home. He does not expect the visions. A mountain in the dead lands. Flying beasts. A girl from the Out. A path no Inlander was meant to walk. Beyond the wetlands lies the Stone Land, where water is stolen, enemies wait, and the Great High Wizard's shadow reaches farther than Ray understands. As Ray's journey pulls him toward secrets buried beyond the wet, his best friend Tall discovers a dangerous power of his own. Magic Lands: Journey Beyond the Beyond begins an epic fantasy trilogy of friendship, courage, living magic, and the bonds that can save-or break-the world.
