Determined to find his father and learn what happened to his village, Jirnethelle sets out for the capital only to discover things are not what they seem.

The Monarch’s Rabble began in November 2007 with the idea of a group of various fantasy creatures coming together to discuss the spiraling rulership of the land’s young king.

While that idea may no longer be at the forefront of The Monarch’s Rabble, it has helped shape the events of the book and still plays a pivotal part in the plot.

As I and the book have grown, one thing remains the same: The Monarch’s Rabble has always been about family, even in the early days when it was known by an entirely different name.

Now, The Monarch’s Rabble is about learning that your family isn’t just the one you were born into, but something you can create.

The book never would have made it this far without the help and feedback from my family and I hope you will lend your voice and join the family of The Monarch’s Rabble.
