Chapter 5: Sacrifice

Deeper into the Adventure

A special message from Taylor Thomas Smythe — creator and star of Treasure Hunters: A Kingdom of Florida Adventure: I hope you’re enjoying the adventure! I had a blast producing it.  I actually started writing the story about five years ago, with the intent to release it as a novella before I adapted it into the podcast.  As I put the podcast together, I realized I still wanted to get the book version into your hands, so I’m pleased to announce the release of Kingdom of Florida: Journey to the Wayward Isles. This book is a faithful recreation of the character Jesse’s journal from the novels and podcast, taking you deeper into the story with illustrations, sketches, maps, and notes from the characters.  My hope with this journal is that you feel like you’re holding an artifact straight from the Kingdom of Florida series. You can find the journal and all seven books of the award-winning middle-grade fantasy series at kingdomofflorida.com [http://kingdomofflorida.com] And find more adventures at lamplightuniverse.com [http://lamplightuniverse.com] Thank you so much for listening to Treasure Hunters!
