Author: Jessie Sylva
How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days by debut author Jessie Sylva is the cozy tale of a halfling and a goblin who must learn to love each other despite their differences. Called "an adorable delight!" (Sarah Beth Durst), this novel is brimming with popular romance tropes and warmth and is perfect for fans of The Honey Witch and The Spellshop. What if cottagecore and goblincore fell in love? 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. "An adorable delight!" ―Sarah Beth Durst, NYT bestselling author of The Spellshop "An adorable story that will fulfill your cottagecore dreams." ―M. Stevenson, author of Behooved "Cozy fantasy lovers will tuck into this lovely story and want to savor every last morsel." ―J. Penner, author of A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic
