Even as Erin finds companions out of goblins, necromancers, drakes, and gnolls, Ryoka Griffin wants no part in making friends.

She just wants to run.

Luckily, there’s a guild that allows her to do just that, and Ryoka soon finds herself delivering messages and packages across the city. But she’s an oddity to the other runners, and not just because she doesn’t wear shoes.

No, there’s something about her that just doesn’t fit in…and it’s probably the fact that she’s from the real world, and not the fantasy one she’s been sucked into.

Like Erin, she has found herself pulled into a fantasy realm she doesn’t understand. And like Erin, she wants to learn more…but wants to do it her own way. Yet even she is learning she can’t do everything alone, and after a dangerous delivery introduces her to the adventuring group The Horns of Hammerad—and other deliveries bring her into the scope of a powerful Lady and a mysterious magic-user—her new world will never be the same.

Darkness is growing in the Innverse, with new players and monsters being added to the chessboard, and both Erin and Ryoka are finding out that as amazing magic can be, it’s also incredibly deadly.

Found family and power of friendship that reminds you of One Piece by Echiiro Oda.

Multi POV worldbuilding that feels like A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin

What people say about The Wandering Inn

“Pirateaba is an amazing world builder, and as a writer, I am in awe of their story constructing skills….The Wandering Inn is a favorite… You won’t find anything else like it.”

– Matt Dinniman, New York Times Bestselling Author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

“5/5 stars. An absolutely extraordinary book that absolutely shattered my expectations in every way.”

-Matt’s Fantasy Reviews

“Okay, so it’s a long story, but what’s it about? Yes, it’s cozy and cheerful, but it’s also dramatic, tragic, adventurous, and fantastic. In fact, it’s by far the most over-the-top fantastic fantasy I’ve read. It’s as cozy as Legends & Latte, as epic as Malazan, and as fantastic as Warcraft.”

-Nils Indie Reviews

“My girlfriend and I call these books the “cursed books” because we cannot stop reading.”

– Theriam Norec

“LitRPG for people who want less math and statblocks in their character-driven narratives.”

– Ice

“Its a story of wonder and friendship, but ultimately I think its a story about discovering what makes you a person.”

– Mel

“You’ll throw this book across the room at 3 AM. Then crawl across the floor to pick it back up.”

– Peter

“Come for the cozy tavern. Stay because the world outside is tearing itself apart.”

“You think you’re reading a story about a simple innkeeper. But by book two you’re weeping for monsters.”

– Morningstar
