Pure Courage

“A moving story of courage and loyalty.”—Kirkus ReviewsIn the vast Wild North, where wolf packs, bears, and hunters collide, wolf cub Connor’s Gray Pack faces extinction. The savage Nightstalkers, Bear Legion, and relentless hunters endanger them.

And what if the hunters become prey too? Tragedy reunites the Zeladez brothers, but corruption, crime, and missing children have consumed Blue Pines. Will the wayward Zeladez brothers bring hope to a town full of dread?

Will Connor’s pack fail and the Wild North descend into evil? Or will the pack succeed, reestablishing the peace that the legendary Three Conquerors once achieved? And what if pack animals have the same emotional intelligence as humans, experiencing depression, fear, anxiety, betrayal, love, hope, and courage?

CJ Fernandez introduced Connor the Wolf to paper in 2005. Following CJ’s tragic passing in 2011 after a struggle with his mental health, his brother, Josh, discovered a sprawling fictional world left behind in over thirty separate hand-written notebooks. Committed to preserving his brother’s voice, Josh has woven these pieces into a unified series. Today, the Pure Courage series stands as a celebration of CJ’s creativity and a way to raise awareness about mental health and depression.
