Children of Grania
One world, one story, from the beginning to the end.
REVIEWS
for the 'Warden of Lies'
*****
One thing that needs to be made absolutely clear is that you have to go into this story with an open mind. I've honestly never read anything like this.
The story itself was not flawless but of all the self published books I have read this one was the best.

*****
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect going into The Warden of Lies, but Jake Rab surprised me not just in the sheer ambitiousness of such a massive storyline, but also in the way he subverts readers' expectations and effectively turns a hero's journey on its head.

*****
Absolutely hooked from the first page. I have been swept into a new world. Created and filled with magic. Incredible world building, early civilization and magical creatures. With Nature and Lore all wrapped up in mystery. I couldn't stop reading and look forward to book two!

PROGRESS REPORT
Currently working on:
'THE ARTERY OF LIGHT'
A standalone set two hundred and fifty years after the events of 'THE WARDEN OF LIES'. Inspired by the legendary Antarctic expedition led by Ernest Shackleton, this book follows a young healer who joins a quest into the frozen edge of the world in order to rescue a mythical creature. It counts as Book 4 in the 'Children of Grania' world.
I am currently working my way through the second draft. Expected publication: Early 2026.
Next:
'THE WARDEN OF STORY'
The sequel to 'THE WARDEN OF LIES', continuing the origin story for Elaina and the village of Little Flame. This novel is fully outlined and I have about 20% of a very early draft.
Expected Publication: End of 2026 or early 2027.
SoonTM:
'THE WARDEN OF ROT'
'THE WARDEN OF ROT' will be the last instalment of 'The Girl Who Promised Trilogy'. I know what happens, how it happens, and who it happens to. I just need to outline it, write it, and click publish!
Expected publication: 2027/2028
There are many more books planned in the overarching 'Children of Grania' world, but since they are so far away I won't add them to this progress report just yet.
