King of Duels

Flos Reimarch, the King of Destruction, is pushing his invasion of Belchan toward a duel. The fight threatens to pull his kingdom of Reim into open war with Jecrass, and every step he takes raises the cost of failure.

Other threads run alongside the campaign. Couriers take on the Assassin's Guild, a challenge that puts ordinary working people against a dangerous trade. The Stitch Witch moves along the edges of events with plans of her own.

This is the sixteenth volume of The Wandering Inn, a long-running web-serial fantasy by pirateaba. The series follows Erin Solstice and the many people whose lives cross at her inn in Innworld. Readers can expect its usual blend of slice-of-life warmth and a background of growing conflict, with the inn's world and the war moving side by side.

The volume was published on July 29, 2025. For the audiobook, Erin Bennett narrates for the first time in the series, replacing Andrea Parsneau, who voiced the earlier volumes.
