Whoever gets there first will have control over the future of humanity.Marah Chase and the Fountain of Youth is a tense, exciting, and epic adventure novel, spanning three continents and broadening the world of the Marah Chase series, placing Chase in a unique position to confront questions of identity, faith, imperialism, and appropriation.
