Charge of the Champions, the fourth book in Kevin Gerard’s Conor and the Crossworlds series, launches Conor and the Champions into the Shadow World to confront the mighty armies of Seefra, the master of darkness, in a cataclysmic battle between good and evil. But before they can get underway, Conor must escape from the horrifying cell of shadows, travel through time and resurrect the group of seven, and find the patience to follow Maya’s plan to save his girlfriend, the five keys of the creators, and the Crossworlds.
"This is the one everyone's been waiting for," says Gerard, who finished writing the series three years ago. "I've seen the proof and it is immaculate, it represents many months of excruciating work by a group of very talented individuals. Editor Katie Chatfield meticulously picked through every word of the manuscript. Illustrators Justin Gerbracht and Jennifer Fong outdid themselves by showing the characters and worlds ingeniously. Julie Melton of the The Right Type Graphics, did an outstanding job designing the book."
Gerard has no qualms about praising Conor and the Crossworlds. "I love this story so much, and there are many, many young readers who love it as well. I believe this series will one day rank among the top young adult fantasy series ever. Conor's adventures in the Crossworlds is going to change the world."
This is the second novel produced by Crying Cougar Press, a fledgling imprint seeking to publish exquisite science fiction and fantasy books for young readers.
