Recent release "Quest for the Fountain of Youth" from Page Publishing author Bill Girvin is a gripping and potent tale of courage, conquest, and a timeless legend of immortality. Set in the early years of the sixteenth century when Spanish ships sailed in search of treasure and territory, the capture of sailors by a savage and bloodthirsty tribe on an ill-fated expedition revealed the secret sought by monarchs and conquistadores across the world.
CARMICHAEL, Calif., July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bill Girvin, a globetrotting adventurer who has sought out some of the most remote corners of the world for exploration and continues to demonstrate a passion for life, has completed his new book "Quest for the Fountain of Youth": a spellbinding adventure that keeps the pages turning until the very last chapter.
Bill writes, "It was in July 1502 when the sailing ship El Dorado, laden with plundered treasures, was making a return trip to Spain from Santo Domingo. The El Dorado was thought to have perished in the dark depths of the Mona Passage during the worst-recorded hurricane in history—one with winds of incredible strength and a tumultuous, angry sea of towering waves. Juan Perez, a survivor of that shipwreck, was held captive in Florida for nineteen years by the long-lost tribe of Calusa Indians. He endured torture, war, inhumane treatment and witnessed acts of cannibalism . . . and eventually fell in love with King Senequne's daughter, Tepe. This is the story of Juan's eventual escape and rescue . . . and the sacred Vid, the true Fountain of Youth, that his mentor, Ponce de Leon, had long dreamed of finding. But along with the Vid came the human curse of greed that endangered the lives of any who possessed it."
