I’m thrilled to introduce the finale of my Restorationists trilogy, Beyond the Far Horizon!
When I began the Restorationists series, I didn’t actually know whose story book three would follow. At first, I thought it might be Vincent’s little sister, Lili, or that maybe Vincent and Georgia would share the focus. Ravi had been a fan favorite from book one with readers asking to know more of his story. And as the series developed, it became clear that this last story belonged especially to him.
The Story
When Ravi betrayed “The Lady” to join the Restorationists, he didn’t expect to feel so trapped. But he knows the Restorations have no chance of infiltrating the Distortionists without him. Does he really have a responsibility to these people, or should he just protect himself as best he can? His choice could lead him to isolation or, perhaps, a new family.
This book features new characters, a new Gift (hinted at in Between Flowers and Bones), and even bigger stakes as the Restorationists face their biggest challenge yet!
FAQ
Who is the featured artist?
There isn’t a featured artist the same way as in Beneath the Swirling Sky (or even Between Flowers and Bones). Instead, there’s a featured place. I knew the story would revolve around an attempted heist at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. I even did a research trip there which really informed the writing of this story.
But if any artist could be said to be featured, I’d say it’s Henry Ossawa Tanner. The kids visit at least three of his paintings, and one of them is the location of the emotional climax of the book. I hope you’ll go check out his amazing art.
Will there be a hardcover of Beyond the Far Horizon?
Sadly, no. I realize many people like to have matching sets, so this is disappointing news (to me too). My publisher is moving toward only paperback releases for middle grade novels, and my series got caught in the middle of that shift.
The good news is, if you really need a matching set, the paperbacks are very inexpensively priced (especially at christianbook.com)
Is this the last ever Restorationists book?
It’s the last one in this story arc, and it’s the last one under contract… but it’s not the last one in my imagination, so we’ll see! I’ve gotten many requests for Lili’s story, and I’d love to tell it someday.
