The Chronicles of Osreth
The Chronicles of Osreth follows Maia, a half-goblin, half-elf, as he unexpectedly inherits the imperial throne. This high fantasy series explores court politics, cultural clashes, and the challenges of leadership with a focus on character and world-building.
The Goblin Emperor is a standalone novel set in the world of Osreth, and while it is often grouped with other works by the author, it tells a complete story within its pages.
Yes, there are other novellas and short stories by Katherine Addison that expand on the world of Osreth, exploring different characters and aspects of its history and culture.
While The Goblin Emperor can be read independently, the related novellas and short stories offer additional context and depth to the world, and their publication order generally works well for exploring the broader setting.
