Nine Goblins - A Tale of Low Fantasy and High Mischief

<p><b>From <i>New York Times</i> bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes <i>Nine Goblins</i>, a tale of low fantasy and high mischief.</b><br><br>No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.<br><br>But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.<br><br>Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures...a human being.</p>
