Description

HOW TO LOSE A GOBLIN IN TEN DAYS is a comfort read fantasy romance between a halfling and a goblin: imagine a classic opposites-attract romcom taking place in a cosy fantasy setting. Expect romantasy, magical forests, interfering wizards, lots of home cooking and maybe even a kiss at the Harvest dance...

When a halfling, Pansy, and a goblin, Ren, each think they've inherited the same cottage, they make a bargain: they'll live in the house together and whoever is driven out first forfeits their ownership. Amidst forced proximity and cultural misunderstandings, the two begin to fall in love.

But when the cottage - and their communities - are threatened by a common enemy, the duo must learn to trust each other, and convince goblins and halflings to band together to oust the tall intruder.

What if cottagecore and goblincore fell in love? This debut is perfect for all fans of cosy fantasies such as The Spell Shop, Legends and Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea, as well as any reader who really wishes they could live in the world of The Lord of the Rings.
