Hey Reader,

We Did It !!

Thanks to all the Superfans who came to the Saturday Launch Party!

LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED to the book this weekend because of your help!

The day after the launch we were

  • #1 Amazon Best Seller in YA Middle East Fiction!
  • #1 Hot New Release in YA Christian Action Adventure!
  • #1 New Release in YA Ancient Historical Fiction and
  • #1 New Release in YA Religious Fiction

Do you have your copy yet?

Right now, the paperback is at its LOWEST PRICE EVER. Its retail price is $24.99, but it’s listed on Amazon for $18.99 right now!

I wanted to make it accessible, so I lowered the price. But I can’t keep it low like this for long. So please get your copy of the beautifully illustrated epic adventure story of Marcellus, Byziana, and their friends in ancient Byzantium.

  • Everyone who attended won a Trunk of Scrolls model and a SUPERFAN label in our Private Community (more on this later)

  • Alison and Elif got a Tome of Leo model for tying at 100% on the email Byzantium quiz, and
  • Rose, Laura, Ela, and Selen get their choice of a Downloadable Map book insert for solving the Group Riddle Puzzle.
  • These inserts and elements make the reading of Trunk of Scrolls an interactive experience.
