Synopsis

Flowers of Esthelm collects the third arc of pirateaba's web serial The Wandering Inn as a standalone ebook and audiobook. Erin Solstice, the Earth-born innkeeper introduced in Book 1, is displaced to the unfamiliar city of Celum, cut off from the inn she built — which Lyonette du Marquin has claimed as her own in Erin's absence. Meanwhile the Goblin Lord's army is on the march, and the Redfang and Floodplains goblin tribes disagree over how to meet the threat.

The book also introduces two new arrivals from Earth: Laken Godart, blind and struggling simply to survive a harsh winter on the continent of Izril, and field medic Geneva Scala. As old and new characters converge, the volume builds toward the Battle of Esthelm, one of the series' defining early set-pieces.

Like the rest of The Wandering Inn, Flowers of Esthelm is available to read for free as a web serial at wanderinginn.com; this edition is the optional paid ebook/audiobook release of the same text.
