After one fateful night, Ariana is left alone.  Well, except for her loyal foxhound.  Years later, a monster comes stomping into her village.  Ariana's decisions set her and her dog on a quest that will change their lives, and the kingdom of Losalia, forever.

Not the Hero: The Story of Ariana Stance is Jake's second novel, and the first book to come out of his choose-your-own-adventure-by-committee podcast What Next? 

Excerpts from reviews on Amazon:
"A book that whisks you away to a fantasy world full of humor and adventure. If you like magic, adventure and dad jokes, this is the book for you."
"This book kept me on my toes! You fall in love with each character and can’t wait to read the next chapter! Lots of magic, battles, and a bit of teen romance!"
"It’s been a long time since I’ve connected to a fantasy type fiction, but I’m so glad I’ve found this gem."
