Five Alive: The Final Kingdom Is Here!

TQ_cover5_lo

Can you believe it, TombQuesters? The fifth and final book is out now! (And how amazing is that creepy-cool cover?!) This is what it’s all been leading up to. In The Final Kingdom, Alex and Ren must venture into the world of the dead in a desperate attempt to save the world of the living. They are pursued by The Order and their Death Walker allies at every step, leading up to a fierce, final showdown right back where it all started.

It’s been quite a ride for me, too. The first book came out a little over a year ago, on January 27, 2015, and immediately hit the New York Times bestseller list. It was one of the highlights of my career (and life!), but it was just getting started. I visited scores of schools from California to New Hampshire to talk about reading and writing (and mummies and magic). Another highlight: I got to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, where so many key scenes in the series are set, early in the morning before it opened to the public. Here I am talking with my amazing insider guide in front of the Temple of Dendur!

This whole thing has been an amazing experience—and it’s time for the final chapter! If you want to get Book 5 now, why not pop into your local independent bookstore and tell them you’re on a TombQuest? Or get it online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Books-a-Million. The final book—and the Final Kingdom—is here. And like the mummy-maker said: It’s time to wrap this thing up!

    Will there be a book tour for the final book, “The Final Kingdom?”

    Thanks for writing, Jillian. Yes! I will be on the road for two weeks in April and another week in May. ✈️ I will post more about it on here once I know the dates, places, and details. (Right now all I know is that the April dates will be mostly in the midwest.)

    Heey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to bbe running off the
    screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to llet you know.
    The design and style look great though! Hope yoou
    get the problem resolved soon. Thanks
