Junior was just a pig. At least, that's what everyone thought. Until the night he wandered into the forest, followed the moonlight, and met a goblin who whispered something impossible into his soul: You are awake now. Set in a world where magic is feared, memories have teeth, and friendship is more powerful than prophecy, Junior's Tale: A Familiar Story follows the awakening of a pig who dares to question the life he had, the love he felt, and the freedom he never knew he lacked. Once the loyal familiar to a young wizard named Wilhelm, Junior must now discover who he truly is-and whether love, once given, still counts when the rules change. With the help of a brave girl named Anna, a dangerous bodyguard who may or may not be an assassin, and a scarf that smells like home, Junior embarks on a journey to find the truth, even if it means confronting gods, wizards, and the deepest parts of himself.
