Hello Readers,

I am pleased to announce that Pigborne: The Speechless Tide will be published as part of the Chain Story Project on 15 October 2026.

As a newsletter subscriber, you are the first to see the cover art and blurb below:

Captain Malion washes ashore in a foreign land. Haunted by his failures and desperate to return home, he discovers a darker history of the kingdom he has sworn to defend.

As the sapphire’s influence reaches beyond Genlina, Malion must fight alongside new allies and confront the remnants of his past.

A grimdark animal fantasy in the spirit of Redwall, Pigborne: The Speechless Tide is a brutal tale of faith, corruption, and redemption.

I hope you enjoy the story when it is released.

Thomas Grayfson
