The King in the Forest

Elsyn has been queen for one year, and things are not going well.

Strange and terrible fairies are attacking her subjects. Her people go hungry and she struggles to feed them. Kandar, her goblin consort, has made a habit of throwing noblemen down a hill (they deserved it), and Ben, their human lover, is rumored to have killed his mother (shes alive, well, and stealing holy cheese).

Worst of all, Elsyn is separated from Kandar and Ben, as they seek aid from a fire-worshipping duke. In the dukes isolated valley, a fearsome fairy lord attacks them—and Ben nearly loses Kandar to magical mind control. They barely survive their first encounter, and there are six other fairy lords threatening the land—and the palace temple, where Elsyn is alone.

Elsyn, Kandar, and Ben must reunite to defeat the fairy lords, but along the way, they discover Oberon, an even more powerful fairy king, lying in wait—and an ancient secret that undermines the crown itself. To survive, theyll have to rely on each other, their trusted friends, and some unlikely new allies. Can the bonds theyve forged overcome Oberon, or will the fairy king and the fairy lords fracture their world?

The King in the Forest concludes the Goblins and Cheese quartet. Its a fantasy adventure romance featuring a woman, a man, the goblin who loves them both, his talking horse, her herd of holy cows, large quantities of cheese, and the divinity inherent in ordinary acts of care.
