The Wandering Inn

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.

Pirateaba crafts a living, breathing universe, filled with a diverse array of characters, species, and cultures that evolve alongside the story.
