Swineheart Series

The town of Maraila is a small place, bland and boring, just like so many other small towns in the middle of nowhere. A baby boy was born here, and his family looked forward to raising him. That was, until the entire town was burned down, and everyone died, except for the little boy. He was found by a pig, and taken in as her own son. So, he grew up with the pigs, called them his family, and lived in the forest as a wild man. Until, one day, a pair of hunters found him, naked and grunting, and wondered how they could make money from him. It was here, in these humble surroundings, that the legend of Swineheart began. Will he find out why his village was burned? Will he be strong enough to take his revenge? Will he be able to pick out a suitable outfit for a human? These are the questions that will be answered in this tale, the first of many.

Swineheart, the great warrior raised by pigs, has defeated the warlord Raz, and taken his place in the castle. Now, a whole new set of challenges await. Swineheart must learn about laws and governing, concepts which are entirely alien to him. He must choose whether to trust or destroy his new advisers, and build an army to defend his new lands. On top of that, his aunt Lavina is still held captive on an island across the ocean, and it falls to him to rescue her; and his visions have never stopped. All of this leads to a journey of bureaucracy and cross-country travels unlike any other. Can Swineheart learn to control his power and figure out the meanings behind his visions? Can he dance properly in royal attire? Can he sail across the ocean without becoming seasick?

Swineheart, the powerful warlord who was raised by pigs, has finally found his aunt Lavina after a terrible shipwreck. However, he has lost all of his companions, who are now held captive somewhere on the island by the terrible Brothers. Swineheart's visions have told him of the Emperor, too, the leader of the Continent who ensures that its people continue to suffer. Now, Swineheart must defeat the Brothers to rescue his friends, and somehow think of a fantastic plan to overthrow the Emperor without the death of millions. However, with only a few on his side, he must make allies out of fellow warlords. How will Swineheart approach diplomacy? How will he make friends with those who have never sought peace? How will he win the heart of Driska, his beautiful scout, without looking like a complete fool?
