About this audiobook

Every town has its stories, and the town of Greyhollow has only one that people argue about after dark. It is the story of the boy who appeared in the old millhouse on the night of the autumn floods, newborn and impossible, with no parents to be found and a single word stitched into the cloth he was wrapped in. The word was Beyonder. Not a name any family in the region had ever used, not a word from any language the schoolmaster could identify, but a word that everyone who heard it understood immediately and could not quite explain why. It meant the one who comes from past the edge. Thirteen years later, Beyonder Ashcroft has grown up knowing he is different without knowing what the difference means. Then the floods come again, and something comes with them that has been waiting a long time, and the word stitched into his birth-cloth turns out to be less a name and more a set of instructions.
