Ready for the Ultimate Race Through Time?

Swept 150 years into the past, eleven-year-old Liberty Frye and her friends leave their ship behind to embark on a perilous trek across 1871 China. But shortly after landing, disaster strikes, and Libby is suddenly separated from her crew. Alone in an unfamiliar era, she must navigate a land where shape-shifting caves hide ancient secrets and whispers of an "invisible wizard" point toward a foggy mountaintop.

But this is no ordinary mystic. He is Anqi Sheng, the legendary immortal whom the First Emperor Qin Shi Huang once sought for the elixir of life. Sheng seems drawn to an ancient power locked inside Libby's moonstone necklace.

To reunite with her friends and keep her magic safe, Libby must journey deep into a land of myth, navigating shifting alliances, solving tricky time riddles, and braving the underground depths of the Emperor's tomb-where an army of clay Terracotta Warriors guard secrets of life and death. But with time running out, she has to figure out who to trust and how to navigate an ancient power... before history closes its gates for good.

Liberty Frye and the Emperor's Tomb is the thrilling conclusion (Book 3) in a full-length middle grade time travel adventure fantasy trilogy. Evolving from classic European folklore and maritime survival into a high-concept sci-fi fantasy epic colliding with the legends of Ancient China, this finale brings Libby's journey full circle. It is a must-read for fans of Evermoor, Percy Jackson, Keeper of the Lost Cities, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and A Wrinkle in Time who crave a mind-bending mix of magic, secret histories, and courageous teamwork
