The Courser & Wallace Chronicles, Volume I
A Crossing in the Woods
When two worlds collide, both of them tremble.
In the first instalment of this epic trilogy, discover the world of Myros through the eyes of an Earthling and re-discover Earth through the eyes of a Myrosian in this fantasy thriller.
What People are Saying
“Could hardly put it down”
McConnery does a great job developing two strikingly different characters who share (among other things) very similar heroic attributes.
Chris
“Believable, relatable”
The key to a great fantasy novel in my opinion is in the portrayal of its characters and J.R. McConnery is successful in bringing them all to life as real, believable, and relatable.
Adam
“Opened up a new world”
I literally never read books on my own time but since I got into your book its kind of opened up a new world to me.
