Plot preview
Decades have passed since the empire reached its zenith and an ageing Emperor Trigo has started to think about who his successor may be. His right-hand man and nephew, Janno, is perceived as the natural successor – but Trigo’s abandoned son, Nikko, has long harboured a grudge against his father and now, having built his own Empire whilst in exile, he’s in perfect position to take revenge on his family and seize the Empire he believes is rightfully his . . .
When Janno’s daughter Judelle is kidnapped from Hericon, tensions escalate as each side blames the other, and decades-old resentments come to the surface, setting both kingdoms on a dangerous path from which there may be no turning back . . .
Will the Trigan Empire rise . . . or fall? Don’t miss the beginning of an incredible new saga!

“The Forgotten Son”? Interesting… Where did you get that title from?
I came up with it myself.
I needed a working title and “The Forgotten Son” seemed like an obvious choice. (Wishful thinking on Butterworth’s part, as it turns out.)
None of the other tales has an official title. But maybe this one does? If so—please feel free to divulge!
