The youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor has lived his entire life in exile, distant from the Imperial Court and the deadly intrigue that suffuses it. But when his father and three older sons in line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he has no choice but to take his place on the Untheileneise Throne.

The Goblin Emperor, set against the pageantry and color of a fascinating, unique world, is a memorable debut for a great new talent.
