Treasure Kingdom

by Lorie Leanne Gurnett

Overview

Senora and Josiah clash with heated words as they try to make sense of the mysterious death of their brother Trevor. A flash of light blinds them and they’re unexpectedly pulled into Treasure Kingdom, a fantasy world from a beloved book with secrets to entice and distract them from their pain.

In Treasure Kingdom, nothing is as it seems to be. Their grief still raw, but now they must save a princess and the kingdom while being stalked by an evil queen and her guards. They cling to their faith, trusting God will not abandon them.

With the help of a guide named Sam, they follow the red dragon while dodging gunfire, but it’s the demons of the heart that threaten their very souls. The battle rages and Senora and Josiah are forced to choose sides. In a kingdom where good and evil are unrecognizable, who stands for truth and who is only seeking power and control?

Senora and Josiah risk it all as they find the greatest treasure and learn it’s value-or they will find themselves lost forever without a way back home.

Life seems so dark when death hangs before you. Grief might win the battle unless you learn your true strength within and become an immovable force.

Editorial Reviews

This story touched me in many ways. Having lost two brothers

myself, I identified with the heartache of Josiah and Senora at the

unexpected loss of their brother. Lorie makes the wisdom of the

Bible come alive as Senora and Josiah go on a wild and dangerous

journey to find each other and find healing.

“From the opening words of her novel, Lorie Gurnett speaks directly

to her readers on issues they face daily. Her book is not only a positive

and uplifting story for young adults, but it also invites them

into a magical world full of color, light, and empowerment. Her

narrative is especially empowering for young girls who have been

bullied, who suffer from depression, and who experience more grief

than some adults. She writes about the hard topics pre-teens and

teenagers face without glorifying it. Instead, she gives young readers

powerful tools to help them fight through their adolescence with

confidence and faith.”

anyone who may be struggling. Full of interesting characters and

an exciting fantasy world! This book will remind readers that with

faith, courage, and the bond of family anything is possible!

Stacey Armstrong

We all need a place we can retreat away from our day to day, to be

recharged, encouraged, and even entertained. What better way than

a read of Lorie Gurnett’s first fantasy novel as she mixes fantasy

with the value of Christian faith and family. Enjoy!!!

Lorie Gurnett has a way of challenging her readers to explore and

discover their true identity. Through the art of storytelling Lorie

helps her readers understand that though they may face many

struggles, they do not face them alone. Moreover, God will not

waste our pain, but will redeem all things; therefore, hope is always

victorious and shines brighter than our darkest day and our hardest

nights. This is a story worth reading.

What a beautiful and compelling story about two siblings that

embark into an adventure to uncover a “treasure”. It’s a thrilling

fantasy book full of magic, mystery and twists, but at the end, there

is a powerful message. Message of hope, faith, family bonds and

friendship. A must read for everyone!

Liliana Moir

I really enjoyed the book. I felt like I was journeying with the characters

and wondering what was around the next bend in the road.

There is lots of adventure and interesting characters. The themes

of family and redemption were very beautiful. I am excited to share

this book with my children; I think they will love it!

Andrea Carlson

Lorie Gurnett challenges her readers to look at who they are and

reminds them that though they may face obstacles, they do not

face them alone. She reassures her readers that they are important,

they have a purpose, and there is hope no matter what darkness

they may face.

April Gurnett

Lorie’s novel shows both the beauty and pain that can occur within

families. It also shows how the love of God can make a wonderful

difference. Lovely read.
