Garden of Before

“That''s what happens here, Paul. Every power has its price. It always gets worse.”
For Paul Prentice things have gotten much worse. His house was destroyed in the battle with the Koŝmaro. He''s on thin ice at his job, where instead of working he loses himself in the Between''s computer game, trying in vain to find explanations. His best friend Jay has transformed into a shadowy killer. Corinne and Supriya have vanished. And it appears his wife, Julie, has finally had enough and left him.
Alone and near ruin, Paul receives a familiar visitor with a dire message: they are all back in the Between. Hunted, captured, doomed. For Paul, still wearing the serĉilo''s artifact on his wrist, escape was never an option. The game must be played until the end.
In the harrowing conclusion to The Between, Leslie once again invites readers into a mind-twisting world where the most terrifying monsters are the ones let loose inside of us.
