THE BEYOND continues the story of Physiognomist Cley, a man who can divine good and evil, determine character and intelligence, uncover dark secrets and foretell a person's destiny through the careful study of facial and bodily features. This time, the story is told from the perspective of Misrix, Drachton Below's "son," who was introduced in MEMORANDA. Misrix narrates Cley's journeys to the ends of the world as he struggles with his own humanity.
