Chronicles of Erinwind book one. The Pig King
Erinwind: The Pig King
For five thousand years, the throne of Erinwind has stood empty. Its last heir has been feeding pigs.
Eighteen-year-old Ronin has never dreamed of crowns, ancient bloodlines, or forgotten kingdoms. His world is the farm, the uncle who raised him, and Hembro—the steadfast friend who has stood beside him for as long as he can remember.
Then a golden crown appears upon Ronin’s skin.
The mark reveals a legacy that should have died thousands of years ago and draws the attention of powerful enemies determined to keep Erinwind without a king. Forced to abandon the only home he has ever known, Ronin flees with Hembro into the forbidden Ancient Wilds, where ancient creatures still roam and old magic has been waiting for his return.
But the crown is not merely a symbol. It carries a power Ronin does not understand, a history others have killed to conceal, and a destiny that will demand more than he is prepared to give.
As war gathers around the lost throne, Ronin must decide whether an ordinary pig farmer can become the king Erinwind needs. Yet the greatest truth awaiting him may not lie within his blood at all—but within the unwavering heart that has followed him through every darkness, asking for nothing in return.
Some bonds are stronger than duty.
Some promises survive kingdoms.
And some love refuses to end, even when a lifetime does.
Erinwind: The Pig King is an emotional epic fantasy of ancient magic, dangerous creatures, buried secrets, sacrifice, and a reluctant heir who must lose everything before he can understand what was beside him all along.
