The world is ablaze with great deeds and incredible people. The King of Duels battle with the King of Destruction is still ringing across the continent of Chandrar, but more adventures are taking place at sea with Niers' students, and on Izril's shores.

The Horns have arrived in Invrisil at last, and they will soon find out that Gold-rankers they might be, but that doesn't guarantee instantaneous respect from other high-level teams. However, a certain [Lady] has also begun her final journey...once again, attention and excitement swings back to The Wandering Inn thanks to a certain magic door!

It is a time of fire and men with hats and fantastic moments--and dark ones too, sometimes. However, even the meagerest spark can turn into a roaring flame. Book 17 of The Wandering Inn contains raiders, assassins, magical flames, hats, and...football? Or is it soccer?

The series

Full series details →

In a world where magic is alive and the ordinary is extraordinary, The Wandering Inn invites readers into an immersive universe where an unexpected heroine becomes the unlikely anchor for an entire realm of adventurers, monsters, and magic-wielders. Erin Solstice, a girl from Earth, finds herself transported to Innworld—a place where the line between fantasy and reality blurs in the most unexpected ways. Rather than following the well-trodden path of a typical hero’s journey, Erin carves out a unique life by managing an inn, a safe haven for all who pass through its doors.
