Lian Tanner has published sixteen books across five series, with her earliest title, Museum of Thieves, appearing in 2000. That book launched The Keepers trilogy, which continued with City of Lies (2011) and Path of Beasts (2012). The long gap between the first and second books is notable, suggesting the series may have been revised or relaunched over time.
The Hidden is another trilogy (Icebreaker, Sunker’s Deep, Battlesong), published between 2013 and 2016. The Rogues series followed with two books in 2017 and 2018 (Accidental Heroes and Secret Guardians). Her standalone titles include Rats! (2004) and two picture books for younger readers, Ella and the Ocean (2019) and A Clue for Clara (2020). Tanner’s work is aimed at younger audiences and sits in the children’s and middle-grade fiction space, with adventure-driven plots built around themes of secrets, survival, and hidden worlds.
