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

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.
