The Boar’s Bane Novel

Yohan, a man of the woods known variously as barbarian, ranger, and kingsman, becomes entangled in a complex web of ancient rituals, murder, and political intrigue. Set in the late bronze age transitioning into the early iron age within the mountain region near the Caspian Sea, the story follows his journey as he navigates circumstances often beyond his understanding, yet occasionally demonstrating knowledge that surpasses even the scholars he encounters. Drawn into a role that appears fated, Yohan finds himself at a crucial juncture where his actions will determine the kingdom's destiny. By his hand, either the old kingdom will be resurrected to power or it will succumb to a new dark force that aligns with the ancient gods. Volume 2 expands upon the original draft with additional chapters, minor changes, and enhanced details while maintaining the story's canon grounded in its historical setting.
