This is the third story in the series! And this description could contain some spoilers. I suggest you go back and read Shadow's Edge and Between Shadows if you have not already. Everything seems to have settled down in the Magical Realm following Zander's death. Trixle has transitioned into her role on the High Council, and now the Realm has something new in mind for Mara. The witches are finally coming together and most are looking to the representative of their people, but there are a select few who have different plans. By now, Mara and her friends have learned to be prepared. Something else could always be waiting for them around the corner. Marx and Trixle both know the story, it's been passed down for generations. The bedtime story to scare the kids. The story to keep them in line, to strike fear in them if they ever deviate from their ideals. It's about the Realm's own personal boogie man. But what happens when those stories have some truth to them? What if the boogie man is real? Find out in Beyond the Shadows

DO NOT READ UNLESS you have read Shadow's Edge. Description contains spoilers. Seriously... Go back and read Shadow's Edge first... I mean it. Mara and her friends have returned for another year at Shadow's Edge, only some things have changed. Mara is now the witch representative on the High Council, and she has learned that her friend Marx is actually her mate. But after the betrayal from Zander, Mara still has issues letting Marx in. Mara has spent the past summer with Trixle and her family in the Fae Kingdom, and in that time she has learned more about the Magical Realm than she ever thought possible, and her powers have grown significantly. Things for Mara Crowland are definitely starting to look up. That is until they start to slide back down. The High Council has learned of a threat to the organization as well as the rest of their world. Will Mara be able to help the Council in ridding their world of the threat, or will the Council fall and ultimately bring on the destruction of the Magical Realm? I do not own the image for the cover!
