The Iron Relic Book I: The Crossing

Author’s review

I really appreciated the commentary throughout the manuscript especially regarding the technical aspects. Grammar isn't always at the forefront for me during creative writing and these reminders are great refreshers especially now that I am working on the 3rd book in the series with my writing partner.

I hired you based on the my previous experience with FirstEditing. You all did an outstanding job editing my first novel The Iron Relic Book I: The Crossing at an amazing price.

The editing we received at FirstEditing gave our book the professional polish we were looking for and the results have definitely paid off in terms of our reader reviews.

A short introduction

The Iron Relic Book I: The Crossing follows pediatric oncologist Adam Calhoun as he searches for the truth behind a religious relic believed to possess the healing powers of Christ. In this fast-paced psychological thriller, betrayal and jealousy turn allies into enemies as the true power of the pendant, and the iron relic it protects, portends a second coming. On his deathbed, billionaire philanthropist Henry Calhoun entrusts a silver crucifix pendant to his dearly beloved great grandson, Adam, and entreats him to keep his possession of it a secret. For, he says, in the small chamber at the back of it rests the broken tip from one of the Holy Nails that pierced Christ's flesh. The legacy soon becomes a nightmare bequest as mystery, murder and miracles ensue, with shadowy figures and thugs for hire crossing paths with Vatican emissaries and forbidden archaeological excavations. As his family implodes, Doctor Adam Calhoun fights not only for his own life, but that of those he loves in this exciting and inspirational thriller of faith, miracles and the quest for eternal life.
