Billy Smith is having a rough first day of high school. The new kid
at exclusive Francis Drake Prep, Billy embarrasses himself in front
of fiery, beautiful Lexi Aquino. He makes an instant enemy in Kurt
Novac, the school’s surly star quarterback. Then suddenly Billy,
Lexi, and Kurt are mysteriously transported to an underworld
teeming with goblins, strange animal hybrids, and powerful
magic—the fact that they’re stuck there is probably Billy’s
fault, too. With help from an unlikely goblin leader named Hop, the
teens soon discover that goblins can be both fierce and friendly,
with their own rich language, culture, and history—a history that
foretells of a human arriving to claim the Goblin Crown and lead
them to victory against the deadly, invading Hanorians. Could
Billy—anxious, awkward Billy—be the mythical Goblin King? Could
saving the goblin race be his destiny and the key to getting him,
Lexi, and Kurt back home?

“If kinging were easy, everyone would do it.” With help from
his friends, Billy Smith—the unlikeliest of heroes—overthrew
the corrupt General Sawtooth and claimed the Goblin Crown. But his
perilous journey to save the goblin race has just begun. The
powerful Hanorian Army is gathered at the gates of Kiranok,
threatening to invade the goblin city and wipe out everyone within.
So the inhabitants of Mother Mountain must draw on their deepest
strengths for the battle to come: Billy, a burgeoning leader,
crafts military strategy while fending off foes from within the
goblin ranks; Lexi, her magic growing, trades firepower with the
mighty wizard Mig; and steadfast Hop and stalwart Kurt set off in
pursuit of a mysterious Fallen Star, perhaps their only hope for
defeating the enemy—but did it awaken an even darker force in the
universe? Billy, Lexi, Kurt, and the goblins soon realize the true
meaning of duty, death, and destiny—and that the wages of war
come at a steep price.
