Does this book stand alone or do I need to read others first?

This is the ninth installment in a long-running series and is not intended to be read as a standalone. New readers should begin with the first book to understand the established world and character relationships.

How does this book relate to the original web serial?

The book is an edited, published version of a specific segment of the ongoing web serial. Because the original story is written in massive volumes that exceed standard publishing lengths, this book covers only a portion of one of those larger volumes.

Synopsis

The rains have stopped over Liscor, leaving mud and the trail of the Goblin Lord's army. That army has now reached the city, with Tyrion Veltras and his forces close behind. Directly in its path stands The Wandering Inn.

Erin Solstice runs the inn, and she has to find a way to survive the coming fight while protecting her friends. The trouble is plain, but the price of getting through it is not, and the book keeps that question open.

The story builds toward the Battle of Liscor. On one side is the Goblin Lord's host. On the other are Liscor's defenders and Erin's found family of Goblins and Antinium, who stand with her at the inn.

This is fantasy, and a war story at its centre. It is Book Nine in The Wandering Inn series and collects Volume 5, Part 3 of pirateaba's ongoing web serial, first posted online between December 2018 and March 2019. This is the e-book edition of that serial, which can also be read free online.
