About the Title: Twelve-year-old Aiden is the youngest son of one of the kingdoms greatest warriors and comes from a long line of adventurers. His grandparents were among the first settlers of Corenwald's eastern frontier. Aidan, on the other hand, lives the quiet comfortable life of a nobleman's son. He never has any real adventures, and that, he believes, is the one great injustice of his otherwise happy life.

All that will change the day he first hears the bark of the bog owl. In this second book in the trilogy, a jealous and vindictive King Darrow sends Aidan Errolson on a seemingly impossible quest into the depths of the Feechiefen Swamp. Darrow thinks he's sending Corenwald's young deliverer to certain death. No one, after all, comes back from teh Feechiefen. He doesn't know that Aidan has allies among the feechiefolk, who know him as the hero Pantherbane.

But even the feechiefolk may be unable to deliver Aidan from the enemy who waits in the swamp's deepest recessesan enemy who threatens not just Aidan, but all of Corenwald!

Author Jonathan Rogers calls The Wilderking Triology a fantasy-adventure story told with an American accent. The wild places of the imaginary island of Corenwald bear more than a passing resemblance to the vine-tangled swamps and forests of his native Georgia. And in the voices of Corenwald's inhabitantsfeechie and civilizer alikeyou can hear the echoes of American swampers and frontiersmen.

Excerpt: "Your majestyI write to warn you: your most dangerous enemy dwells under your roof. Beware the youngest son of Errol. He has convinced himself that he is the Wilderking of ancient prophecy, and the rightful occupant of the throne at Tambluff. His every action is calculated to convince your courtiers of the same...he shamelessly claims to be friends with the feechiefolk, part of a scheme to build a legend around himself that is in keeping with the Wilderking Prophecy. Your majesty, it pains me to accuse a fellow Corenwalder of treason...."
