Thanfred is a thirteen-year-old boy on the cusp of manhood-and on the precipice of accepting the crown to rule the Four Lands. Without a true ruler, the kingdom is in disarray, and something must be done quickly before violence and corruption tear it apart.
Hope sparks when Thanfred's mother has a prophetic dream that predicts her son will be king. But before the council will agree to anoint him, its members demand he prove himself worthy, sending him on a dangerous quest to find a great treasure hidden hundreds of leagues away in the great snowcapped mountains. The contents of the treasure are unknown but believed to be valuable and powerful beyond measure.
Thanfred naively sets out, unaware of the red-eyed wolves who are in league with Darkness and sworn to kill him. But, by the hand of God, Thanfred must not give up, no matter the cost.
To Be King returns to the tradition of a fantasy genre centered on grand quests, religious allegories, and moral themes. Thanfred's mission paves a road through danger and high-stakes adventure, while also maintaining a reverence that pays homage to the genre's classics.
