Billy Smith and The Goblins

3 primary works

The Goblin Crown

by Robert Hewitt Wolfe

Published 15 November 2016

Billy Smith is having a rough first day of high school. The new kid at exclusive Francis Drake Prep, Billy embarrasses himself in front of fiery, beautiful Lexi Aquino. He makes an instant enemy in Kurt Novac, the school’s surly star quarterback. Then suddenly Billy, Lexi, and Kurt are mysteriously transported to an underworld teeming with goblins, strange animal hybrids, and powerful magic—the fact that they’re stuck there is probably Billy’s fault, too. With help from an unlikely goblin leader named Hop, the teens soon discover that goblins can be both fierce and friendly, with their own rich language, culture, and history—a history that foretells of a human arriving to claim the Goblin Crown and lead them to victory against the deadly, invading Hanorians. Could Billy—anxious, awkward Billy—be the mythical Goblin King? Could saving the goblin race be his destiny and the key to getting him, Lexi, and Kurt back home?

The Fallen Star

by Robert Hewitt Wolfe

Published 12 June 2018

Billy Smith has been crowned king of a besieged goblin city, thanks to a resourceful (if somewhat cowardly) goblin named Hop. Now all Billy has to do is save the goblins from a genocidal human army. No pressure. The day after Billy's coronation, the human Army of Light, from the distant kingdom of Hanor, lays siege to the goblins' underground capital, Kiranok. The Hanorians, led by the blood-thirsty High Lord Jiyal, plan to kill every last goblin in Kiranok. Desperate, Billy tries to come up with a plan to save his new subjects. While scouting the enemy army, Kurt and Lexi spot a falling star as it comes crashing to the ground far in the distance. In the goblins' world, meteorites can be used as sources of magic to power tremendous spells. If they can retrieve the falling star before the humans, they can use it to save their city. But if the humans get it first, the goblins are doomed.

The Final Drop

by Robert Hewitt Wolfe

Published 28 July 2020

After being magically transported to another world with two other high school students, perennial outsider Billy Smith has become the unlikely king of a goblin civilization. With the help of his first day of high school crush, Lexi Aquino, now a powerful wizard, quarterback turned warrior Kurt Novac, and a cowardly but wily goblin named Hop, Billy has successfully repelled a human invasion of the goblins’ underground city, Kiranok. But the leader of the attacking Hanorian Army, Lord Marshal Jiyal, has returned to the Hanorian capital, Gran Hanor, where he’s preparing for a second invasion. Billy decides the only way to end the war is to neutralize Jiyal’s powerful ally, a young wizard named Mig. Billy and Kurt set off for Gran Hanor to find Mig and trick her into drinking a potion called the Final Drop which will nullify her magic forever. But after their departure, the Dark Lady, the mad elven wizard who started the war, reappears in Kiranok and reclaims her place as the goblins’ leader. She coerces Lexi, who’s struggling with madness from using too much magic, into helping her raise a skeletal army, then she and her Marching Dead force the goblins to march on Gran Hanor. Now Billy must find a way to stop the Dark Lady and her skeletal army, neutralize Mig, help Lexi regain her sanity, save the goblins, and make peace with the Hanorians before a cataclysmic final battle destroys them all.
