Birds of Erishum Trilogy

The Kingdom of Erishum Trilogy Boxset contains all three volumes of the cozy fantasy series — The Mudlark, The Gutter Shrike, and The Dying Wilds — by author Gwen DeMarco.

In the Kingdom of Erishum, where ancient walls hold back the deadly Dying Wilds, a mudlark named Nyssa discovers a mysterious object that will change her life—and her kingdom—forever. What begins as a chance for escape from the slums spirals into a web of political intrigue, forcing her to navigate a dangerous world of Enumerii priests and the king's deadly shrikes.

But when her childhood friend Vallen, a former shrike himself, is condemned as a sacrifice to the monstrous hyvas beyond the walls, their fates become inexorably intertwined. Together, they uncover a secret that could shatter the very foundations of Erishum, launching them on a perilous journey through the heart of the Dying Wilds in search of truth and survival.

As corruption festers at the kingdom's core, Nyssa and Vallen must transform from gutter rats into unlikely heroes. Their final test will push them to their limits: a desperate mission to save innocent lives and confront the tyrannical King Jorek himself. In a land where ancient magic and deadly creatures lurk around every corner, they'll need more than courage to survive—they'll need to become legends.

This gripping trilogy weaves together threads of friendship, sacrifice, and defiance against insurmountable odds, all set in a richly imagined world where the line between safety and certain death is as thin as the city's protective walls. Perfect for fans of intricate world-building, political intrigue, and stories of ordinary people rising to extraordinary challenges.

This boxset includes a previously unreleased bonus prequel, "Vallen".
