About the book
About Beyond the Treeline
Alph O'leary has a life nobody would be jealous of. Wartime London is boring, dull, and anxiety inducing. His tense relationship with his father doesn't help with almost every word exchanged seeming to drive them apart even further. However, on a day like any other, Alph happens upon a set of instructions. Depicting a mysterious creature and addressed to Norway, he runs away on a quest in search of their rightful owner. Lured into a hidden kingdom full of beasts and magic, Alph finds himself wrapped up in a plot to bring an end to the destructive path of an ancient monster: the Nuckelavee. With his young son suddenly missing, Timothy O'leary is in no way prepared to rush across Norway after him. Trying to live a peaceful life whilst dealing with the challenges of being a single father and his own past trauma, his world is thrown into chaos. Faced with horrifying monsters and the looming frigid North, Timothy must find every shred of courage in him to save Alph.
