From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a tale of low fantasy and high mischief.

DELUXE EDITION--a gorgeous hardcover with endpapers illustrated by the author and a foil case stamp

No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in "cowardly" and "lazy" too for good measure.

But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.

Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures...a human being.

So, if T. Kingfisher writes it - I will read it, no questions asked. And this one did not disappoint - a novella chronicling an detachment of Goblins pulled through a portal by a fleeing wizard who find themselves behind enemy lines, it hits all the Kingfisher classics. Loveable main characters, the side character who steals your attention and makes you want them to have their own stand alone story, a journey, plenty of magic and just a touch of horror to keep it from being saccharine. I loved it and cannot recommend it highly enough if you've read all the canon or you're just looking to dip a toe into the water.
