The Way of the Wilderking: Wilderking Trilogy

by Jonathan Rogers

When Aidan Errollson returns home to Corenwald after three years in the Feechiefen Swamp, he is shocked to discover a newly formed party known as the Aidanites. They believe the ancient Wilderking Chant makes reference to Aidan, and that he is destined to overthrow the tyrant, King Darrow.

Aidan has no intention of leading any rebellion. However, as Corenwald weakens and the Pyrthen Empire threatens to invade, it seems that the Aidanites may be the only army the Corenwalders have left. What happens next among civilizers, Feechiefolk, and Pyrthens, no one could have imagined.

Very fun Biblical narrative retelling. I can’t tell what culture and land the fictional nations in the trilogy are inspired from. The author manages to make them feel both real and unique, fortunately.

I guess the denouement is not his thing

Still fun. so much lead up, not much wrap up.
