The Secret of the Swamp King

Aidan Errolson is now living in the court of King Darrow, but the king is spiraling into suspicion and paranoia. His insecurity causes him to hate the young man who once saved his kingdom.

When the king sends Aidan on an impossible adventure into the recesses of Feechiefen Swamp, he hopes he is sending Aidan to his death. After all, no Corenwalder has ever returned from Feechiefen alive. But Aidan's fate is not yet sealed, for he has allies among the Feechiefolk, who know him as the hero Pantherbane.

These 20th-anniversary editions of the Wilderking Trilogy include newly-written material by the author and all-new illustrations by Joe Hox. They may smell faintly of the Feechiefen Swamp.*

*If book does not smell faintly of swamp, soak in tepid water for 3-4 months for dramatic results.

About the Author
Rogers, Jonathan: - Jonathan Rogers received his undergraduate degree from Furman University and holds a Ph.D. in seventeenth-century English literature from Vanderbilt University. In addition to the beloved Wilderking Trilogy and its not-so-distant cousin, The Charlatan's Boy, he is the author of The Terrible Speed of Mercy, The World According to Narnia and a pithy biography of Saint Patrick. When he is not writing his own stories, he's shepherding the stories of others as the host of The Habit-a podcast and an online hub for writers at TheHabit.co.Hox, Joe: - Joe Hox was raised on a farm in southern Iowa where he doodled whenever he wasn't spading thistles or feeding pigs. Everyone knew by his crooked hay-rows that he would one day choose art over farming, and they were not wrong. He earned his masters degree in art education, and now he's in the studio full-time living out his childhood dream of being an illustrator. He has illustrated more than twenty-five books, including S. D. Smith's Mooses with Bazookas, and he loves to collaborate with his wife, author Kate Hox, on books that help families deepen their faith in God.
