I open my hand slowly, terrified that I’m not really solid. And then I feel the rain. Not falling through my hand, but hitting it. Gathering in my palm. It’s cold and wet and heavy. My hands are now stained with a crime, but they also hold the power to help Avery.   

Kai Turner was always a rebel while he was alive, and since his death, not much has changed. Now he's been instructed to forget about his old life and focus on using his new healing powers to help people. But all he can focus on is Avery Ambrose, the stranger he died saving. For the past six months, her life has slowly been unraveled by his death. To help her, he risks everything by breaking the rules, dangerously blurring the barriers between life and death. Little does he know just how much Avery is willing to sacrifice for him in return. 

Praise for BEYOND THE RISING TIDE:

Sarah Beard has created sensory experiences that transport the reader to a luscious chocolate shop, the salty tang of the ocean, a piquant vineyard, and more. Twists and turns will have the reader wondering how the story can possibly resolve in a satisfying way, yet the ending is a perfect blend of the surprising and the inevitable, making Beyond the Rising Tide a book that will stay with you long after the final page.” --award-winning author Annette Lyon

“Vividly imagined, this novel is the perfect mix of modern love story and literary fiction. One brimming with genuine emotion that had me re-reading passages simply because they were too beautifully written to experience just once.” --Julie N. Ford, author of With No Regrets

“The author creates a marvelous story of two people who come together in an explosion of fate. Once again, Sarah Beard’s superb writing and fantastically descriptive imagery pull the reader along on a wave of emotion and satisfaction.
