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 sons in
line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he has no choice
but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir.Entirely
unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no
advisors, and the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his
father and brothers could make an attempt on his life at any
moment.Surrounded by sycophants eager to curry favor with the naive
new emperor, and overwhelmed by the burdens of his new life, he can
trust nobody. Amid the swirl of plots to depose him, offers of
arranged marriages, and the specter of the unknown conspirators who
lurk in the shadows, he must quickly adjust to life as the Goblin
Emperor. All the while, he is alone, and trying to find even a
single friend . . . and hoping for the possibility of romance, yet
also vigilant against the unseen enemies that threaten him, lest he
lose his throne-or his life.
Katherine Addison's "The Goblin Emperor "is an exciting fantasy
novel, set against the pageantry and color of a fascinating, unique
world, is a memorable debut for a great new talent.
