In theory, Erin and Ryoka know that King Flos returning is bad.

The problem is: what are they supposed to do about it?

He is a figure of legend, and they’ve already encountered one of his mostly deadly vassals, Gazi. And while they didn’t exactly defeat her, they did send her packing…and minus an eye.

So maybe a concert at the Wandering Inn isn’t out of the question?

But this is the Innverse, so there can never just be singing, dancing, burgers, and chess games.

Because under the surface (and, to be clear, on the surface), darkness is growing. This is still a world of monsters, still a world of violence, and still a world of divided kingdoms and races.

The Wandering Inn may welcome in everyone from the undead to frosty fae, but the rest of the land can’t forget old wars and old wounds…nor will it wait to take action. King Flos rides once more, the Free Antinium continue their secret machinations, and there’s a new dungeon outside of Liscor…and what’s inside might be even worse than Skinner.

Worse, merchants keep stealing Erin’s recipes, so how is she supposed to keep the Inn afloat?

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

“Every moment of this book will have you in its clutches be it heart filled or heart stopping. Truly binge worthy.”

“All I do is cry, there are tears of every kind.”

“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.”

– ChrisCozy

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

– Morningstar
