Description
Is it possible to change the world for good without destroying your enemies?
Will and Morgan begin an epic, action-packed journey across a magical realm to find out.
"...a story of mystery and fantasy with memorable scenes and characters that will remain etched in the memories of readers." - Readers' Favorite
Will Owens is an orphaned teenager with a unique ability that has alienated him in the quiet town of Cochrane: he can see dark creatures emerging from the Arden Forest. And people are dying.
Will is befriended by Morgan Finley, a stunning fencing champion whose dreams of a Yale scholarship are haunted by her family's secrets. The unlikely friends venture into the Arden Forest where they enter a magical realm in the throes of a brutal war.
Entrusting their lives to a Callum Sage and his rogue companions, Will and Morgan embark on a perilous journey across the Fourwinds to face an ancient evil birthed in a tower known as the Maidstone.
Courage and friendship are tested at every turn, but the group has yet to realize the full extent of the powerful forces that threaten to destroy the Fourwinds and reach far beyond the town of Cochrane.
If you loved escaping to the worlds of Narnia, Middle Earth, or Landover, you'll want to join Will and Morgan on their incredible journey... Across the Fourwinds.

I really enjoyed this book, at first it was a slow start and honestly I was confused if I was reading a fantasy novel or a mystery thriller. As the story continued though I was not disappointed, this has all the elements of a great fantasy, the chosen hero, magic, the great evil, elves, gnomes, dragons, and of course giants and orcs. It felt very close to ready a Terry Brooks book, a mix between Running with the Demon and the Sword of Shannara all mixed together. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants a good mixed fantasy.

Across the Fourwinds is a very entertaining book that held my interest throughout. Whilst i would argue that it leans more toward a thriller, which is not usually my cup of tea, i think it was a cracking read.
There are some really interesting themes in the story that i feel the author explored well and i found the action sequences to be very engaging.
I did find there to be a tiny bit of pacing issues during the "real world" to "Fantasy world" transition but ultimately i really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all of my friends.
Across the Fourwinds sets itself up nicely for a sequel and i can't wait to see what the characters get up to next time.

This book was quite interesting to say the least. Though at some points I was lost since the story took a different turn. It was very interesting and I liked the character development.
Gitta B, Reviewer
It was a very interesting read, with good characters in great storyline. The plot is absolutely original, which is quite rare nowadays, unfortunately, so that's a good point. I really liked the character developments, too. All in all, I liked it! Thanks for the copy!
