FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Basingstoke, UK. June 13th 2025 – Debut author George Carter presents a gripping new novel that combines powerful emotional depth with suspense, mystery and a touch of the supernatural. Beyond Boundaries is a coming-of-age thriller about memory, identity, and the long shadows cast by childhood trauma.
The story follows Milo, a quiet and thoughtful boy growing up in a difficult household. His only comfort is Henry, his imaginary friend, who helps him cope when things get too loud or too dark. But when a frightening moment unfolds, Henry acts in a way no imaginary friend should. That single act of protection sparks a mystery that will shape Milo’s life for years to come.
As Milo grows into adulthood and studies forensic science, he tries to bury the past. But when Henry reappears under very real and strange circumstances, Milo is drawn into uncovering a deeper truth. Together, they begin to connect the pieces of Milo’s lost history, including a dangerous link to a gang known as the Golden Dragons, who are tied to everything Milo’s family tried to escape.
The novel explores themes of emotional survival, found family, memory, and justice. With a careful balance of psychological drama and fast-paced suspense, Carter leads the reader through a layered journey filled with heart and risk.
“A story that punches hard and hugs harder,” says Zab Miller, editor and publishing consultant. “George Carter masterfully blends emotional storytelling with gripping narrative tension. This debut will stay with readers long after they finish the final page.”
Set against a British urban backdrop, Beyond Boundaries captures the weight of secrets, the strength it takes to confront the past, and the healing power of connection. Its vivid characters and steady tension pull readers into a world where the line between memory and reality begins to blur.
Carter, based in Basingstoke, credits his love of storytelling to the authors who first inspired him, including Roald Dahl, Tolkien and Conan Doyle. “This is the type of story I always imagined writing,” he says. “One that blends heart with mystery and leaves you thinking about it afterwards.” He hopes it offers a message of strength for anyone who has faced loss, fear or doubt.
Beyond Boundaries is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. https://amzn.eu/d/cQ2WIkY
