About the book
When a fierce quake strikes the remote island of Bluehaven, and her father disappears, Jane Doe is thrown headfirst into an epic quest to bring him home.
But this is no ordinary rescue mission. Her father is lost in a place between worlds; a dangerous labyrinth of shifting rooms, infernal booby traps and secret gateways. And she isn’t the only one desperate to find him. A great evil has found its way inside this sacred, deadly realm: a man who knows her father’s secrets. A man with an army, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
With a pyromaniac named Violet and a trickster named Hickory by her side, Jane is about to discover that this adventure is even bigger on the inside than it looks …
This is the blockbuster adventure the worlds have been waiting for.
Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds by Jeremy Lachlan publishes in paperback ($19.99) and hardback ($27.99) on 1 August 2018 through Hardie Grant Egmont. |
