Wilderking trilogy

Civilizer Aidan returns home to Corenwald after three years in Feechiefen Swamp only to discover it has been taken over by the Aidanites, who believe Aidan intends to overthrow the tyrant King Darrow.

When the jealous and vindictive King Darrow sends Aidan Errolson on an impossible quest into the depths of the Feechiefen Swamp, he believes he is sending Aidan to his death, unaware that Aidan has allies among the feechiefolk, who consider him a hero.

A tale based on the Bible story of David, in which Aidan Errolson, a twelve-year-old noble son who yearns for adventure, learns from a prophet that he is the Wilderking, the "wild man" destined to restore his kingdom's lost glory, and sets out to defeat the hostile Pyrthen Empire's giant, Greidawl.
