The Goblin Emperor

Maia, the youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor, has lived his life in exile, far from the glittering court of the Ethuveraz. When his father and brothers are killed in a suspicious airship crash, Maia is suddenly thrust onto the throne. Surrounded by sycophants and assassins, he must navigate the treacherous waters of imperial politics while maintaining his inherent kindness. This character-driven fantasy is a refreshing take on court intrigue, focusing on empathy, leadership, and the profound isolation of power.
