History is personal—at least for Wisp, a goblin scraping by on the streets of Liston. She knows the best spot to pull a rat-on-a-stick scam and how to dodge Travis, the ever-menacing underworld troll enforcer. So when Idris, a scholarly centaur chasing an ancient mystery, hires her as his tour guide, he finds Wisp knows a lot about Liston.

Just… not the right things.

But Wisp is a quick learner. Under Idris’s mentorship, and with the help of Sirena, a manic gnome with a penchant for poking things, Wisp reinvents herself as a tour guide of “old stuff.” Business booms… until the local gangs muscle in, offering “authentic” mugging experiences and premium troll punches.

Soon, Wisp is caught between the underworld, a nobleman determined to see her returned to the gutter, and secrets that could shatter her blossoming friendships. And through it all, an ancient mystery demands to be solved.

Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett and Travis Baldree, Goblins & Guides: Hidden Histories is a cozy fantasy mystery brimming with unlikely allies, found family, and a goblin who might steal your heart—along with the contents of your pockets.
