Book excerpt: Two legendary heroes are called upon to save the nation of their birth in this fantasy adventure by the New York Times–bestselling author. It has been many years since the long night of the Blue Moon. King Harald is dead, and chaos reigns in the Forest Kingdom.

A stunning revelation about the true identities of two Haven cops (whom readers will recognize from Green’s popular Hawk & Fisher series) awaits. At long last, revisit the world of the Blue Moon. A continuation of several of New York Times–bestselling author Simon R. Green’s most beloved series, Beyond the Blue Moon was chosen as one of the year’s best books by Science Fiction Chronicle.
