Jane Doe And The Quill Of All Tales

A dangerous new world. An epic new quest. A thrilling new blockbuster entry in the best-selling middle-grade series, The Jane Doe Chronicles. Jane Doe is no ordinary girl. A child of three ancient gods, she can control the Manor, a sacred labyrinthine realm between the worlds. But lately, it seems the Manor’s been controlling her – and Jane is terrified of what that could mean. But when Jane discovers she’s the rightful heir to a powerful, long-lost relic, she must cast her fears aside and embark on another extraordinary adventure. The relic – the Phantom Quill – is said to grant visions of every future in every world. In the right hands, a tool for good. In the wrong hands, a weapon of chaos. And a power-hungry cult leader is already hot on its trail … With her girlfriend, Violet, their pal, Aki, and the mysterious Winifred Robin, Jane must journey through the booby-trapped halls of the Manor to the steamy jungles of Vahru, a land on the edge of ruin. There are quicksand pits. There are swamps. There are ravenous beasts and crumbling, ancient cities. Deadliest of all, though, there's the cult and its prophetic High Priest. Why does he want the Quill so desperately? And why does Jane feature so prominently in his nefarious plans? This time, if Jane wants to save the Otherworlds, she may have to make the ultimate sacrifice. Destiny – let alone the Manor – may not be on her side, after all ...

On an August night in 1986, Jane Doe became the fifth reported woman raped by a sexual serial predator dubbed the Balcony Rapist. Even though the police had full knowledge of the rapist's modus operandi, they made a conscious decision not to issue a warning to women in her neighbourhood. Jane Doe quickly realized that women were being used by the police as bait. The rapist was captured as a result of a tip received after she and a group of women distributed 2,000 posters alerting the community. During the criminal proceedings, Jane Doe became the first raped woman in Ontario to secure her own legal representation -- allowing her to sit in on the hearings instead of out in the hall where victim-witnesses are usually cloistered. As a result, Jane heard details of the police investigation normally withheld from women in her position, which revealed a shocking degree of police negligence and gender discrimination. When the rapist was convicted, the comfort was cold. In 1987, Jane Doe sued the Metropolitan Police Force for negligence and charter violation. It took eleven long years before her civil case finally came to trial -- the rest is history.
