Episode 6: I’d Do Anything

Jordan Caldwell is supposed to be spending his last Friday night in town with his friends. Instead, he’s sitting at Pappan’s, waiting for Steph to finish work — and trying not to think about what might happen if she catches him talking to K.C.

Cody Miller has other plans. He wants one last adventure before everyone goes their separate ways and hopes Jordan will give in to the kind of impulsive decision-making that has gotten him into trouble before. Meanwhile, Wes Stefanko has spotted an opportunity of his own. When he finds Jessie Saeger alone outside the mall, he decides it’s finally time to make his move.

The Fallen Odyssey

Pro tip for would-be heroes: Make sure the princess you're rescuing is KIDNAPPED, not under arrest for murder

Seventeen-year-old Justin Holmes thought storming out of the house on Christmas Eve would be the worst decision of his life. He was wrong.

One step out the door, and he wakes up in a world of swords, monsters, and magic — where he’s recruited to rescue a kidnapped princess.

Standard fantasy quest, right?

Except the princess wasn't kidnapped. She was under arrest for murdering her entire family. And now, Justin’s an accomplice.

Hunted by soldiers and hounded by prophecy, Justin’s allies insist his arrival makes him the Chosen One: the hero destined to defeat a Dark Lord and his demon army. But back on Earth, Justin could barely survive high school, let alone save a world.

With no powers, no skills, and a past he can’t outrun, Justin has one question left:

Can a broken kid from small-town America become the hero this world needs?

I hope all that sounded compelling to you, because I paid a copywriter to write it instead of using generative AI. Look at me, being a real pro.

The Fallen Odyssey is Book 1 of the 5-Book COMPLETE Fallen Odyssey Series.

That’s right - complete. I didn’t do that fantasy-author thing where they keep you waiting for years and years and maybe never finish the series at all. The story is done. And the readers who have finished the series have had nothing but good things to say about it, as far as you know.

You can get a signed copy of The Fallen Odyssey at the shop at coreymccullough.com. It’s also available on Amazon and the usual book-buying places, and there’s an audiobook available to listen to FOR FREE on YouTube.

Side note: You get access to the full ebook version of the Fallen Odyssey when you become a supporter on Patreon. It’s a couple of bucks a month, but honestly, you could just sign up, download The Fallen Odyssey, and downgrade to the free version if you want. I give you permission. It’s rough out there, and we can’t get mad at each other just for trying to save a buck or two.

Check it out, and get lost in a fantastic adventure.
