Elf Historian, Brangwain Spurge, has been catapulted (quite literally) into the arms of his nation’s greatest enemy, the goblin kingdom, on a mission to observe his surroundings and deliver a gift to the mysterious ruler Ghohg. Survival is optional. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of his invited guest is Goblin historian, Werfel the Archivist. Ever the patient and kind host, Werfel immerses Spurge in goblin culture. Meanwhile, ill-tempered Spurge is spying and sending Top Secret Transmission images back to the Order of the Clean Hand, but there is more to the story than meets the eye. This side-splitting illustrated novel is a fantastical comedy of manners that will tickle the readers’ funny bone while simultaneously asking them to think critically about the consequences of cultural perception, bias, and misinformation.
