Strap in. Hold on tight. The follow-up to the award-winning Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds is here!

Jane Doe is in more danger than ever before. Her father is still imprisoned. The Manor – the hallowed world between worlds – is still dying. The villainous Roth is still searching for the mythical, all-powerful Cradle Sea. Worst of all, Jane has learned that she is the key to stopping him and saving the Otherworlds. Problem is, she’s stranded in the dying land of Arakaan – Roth’s home – and its people have some surprising secrets of their own.

With a little help from her pyromaniac pal, Violet, and her doubtful ally, Hickory, Jane must find the courage to accept her destiny and face her darkest fears, even if it means losing everything she holds dear.

From the desolate plains of Arakaan to the shifting halls and devious booby traps of the Manor, Jane’s Cradle quest is about to explode.

There are sandstorms. There are scorpions. There are new friends and foes. And every soul in every world hangs in the balance.

About the Author

Industry Reviews

Praise for the Jane Doe Chronicles

‘Speeding trains? He's got them. Forests with something unnerving about them? Those too, and so much more: [a] girl seeking missing kin; booby-trapped ruins; and whip tricks worthy of Indiana Jones…' –The Guardian

'Move over, Indiana Jones. Your escapades seem trivial in comparison to Jane’s. Each page brings more questions than answers in this first book of the Jane Doe duology. I didn’t want to put it down. Neither will you.' –Kids’ Book Review

'Immediately exciting and inventive, this is a thrilling story set in a universe made up of multiple worlds… Jane is a wonderful character—warm, brave and funny—and the secondary characters are equally charming. A unique and utterly compelling read. This action-packed adventure thriller will appeal to a wide range of readers aged 11 and up, and could well be our next Nevermoor.' –Books + Publishing

'[A] climactic action sequence hits every beat. Double-crosses! Triple-crosses! A daring flight in a location definitely not intended for an airplane! A massive rolling boulder! Sandstorms and scorpions! Amid all the death and betrayal, Jane’s timid, sweet flirtation with Violet comes off as positively darling... An explosive, fast-paced, snarky, high-stakes quest through an ancient haunted house.' – Kirkus

'A fantastic fast-paced exciting adventure set in a magical labyrinth of a manor with rooms that shift, booby traps and a classic bad guy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. I highly recommend this book for kids 11+.' –Readings Kids

'Incredibly atmospheric and intricately engineered. Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds is breathtaking and delightfully captivating until the final page.' –Diva Booknerd

'An epic adventure that is filled to the brim with exotic characters and eye-popping adventures.' –Better Reading

'The Jane Doe Chronicles (are) a masterpiece … a compelling adventure and a creation story to blow your mind. Prepare to read into the night.' –Book Murmuration
