The Goblin Trilogy
3 primary works Complete
Book 1
Haghuf, respected elder among the unseen goblins, has only scorn for humans. Yet he is drawn into friendship with a human aristocrat by The Dance, the spiritual exaltation of life that is integral to the goblin species existence. When an unwitting human wanders into the caverns, a series of events is set into motion that will lead their leader, Count Anton, to betray his loyalty to his own people to avoid a war that the humans cannot possibly win. Hunted by humans who feel he has betrayed them by his friendship with the goblins, Count Anton will be thrown into a deeper world, where even the goblins have reason to be afraid...
Book 2
A young girl flees her home and an unwanted marriage. Desperation takes her to the riverside, the site where as a toddler she was patted kindly by the goblin who had befriended the human ruler, Count Anton. But another memory of that day unsettles her as she pushes the small boat into the current. A memory of bubbles in the river, and of blood. There's something in the water still. Driven by a premonition that she belongs with the people across the river, she soon meets the children of Magicians...and of goblins. Yet there are greater challenges to face. In the midst of conflict between species and between the ever combative northern and southern humans, a new enemy arises from over the sea. The goblins see the danger of this invasion to their own uneasy peace with the familiar local humans, but they disagree among themselves as to whether they will best serve their kind by helping the surface dwellers, or by leaving all humans to kill each other once and for all.
Book 3
In the world of the goblins, there is only one rule...Khemael, called both Angel and Demon by the superstitious humans, is a creature of beauty and grace, with a mostly human appearance. His love of stretching his leather-like wings and flying freely in the world of men brings far too much attention to the existence of the goblins. Haghuf, with the old ways entrenched into the very core of his being, knows that the inevitable responsibility will fall to him. He must destroy the beautiful creature who, in the world of the humans, would be called his grandson. Amidst unrest among the more fearful humans south of the river and disparity in the world of the goblins, messages come from Anton who travels in the north. A different kind of invader than those they have encountered before moves towards the city. They are moving south. Whatever happens, the impending incursion will bring change to their world...and Khemael's flights threaten to bring the danger to the goblins.
