Book Description
“You want to learn magic, dearie? I will teach you my ways…if you can survive it…" All I've ever dreamed of is to learn the ways of magic, but the village witch casts me off because I can’t read. I’m just a poor miller’s daughter, but the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen finds me weeping by the side of the road, and takes pity on me. He gives me my first kiss and a gold coin, and tells me that if I can hang onto the gold coin for one year, he’ll return and make my dreams come true. Well, how on earth is a girl supposed to hang onto a gold coin when she’s freezing and hungry? Now the handsome man has returned and as it turns out, he’s a king—and my father tells him I can spin straw into gold, since…I might have told a few wild stories about where that damn coin came from. Now I’m locked in a tower by a king who knows I’m a liar who spent his coin, and if I can’t spin the straw into gold, I’ll face his punishment. He’s more of a jerk than I thought, but he’s the king, so what am I to do? Enter the Trickster Mage—a ragged, wild goblin sorcerer. He’ll teach me to spin the straw into gold but in exchange he asks for the most wicked bargain I can imagine—and I will learn the secrets of the most exquisite and horrible patience. Caught between these two men, I learn more than I ever imagined—and more than the goblin sorcerer ever imagined as well, because as we grow closer, I begin to see the man behind the Trickster Mage—and grow closer to his true name. The Goblin’s Curse is a steamy fairy tale retelling of Rumpelstiltskin for those who like an adorable happily ever after fairy tale romance.

Book Description
The complete Grim and Grimmer humorous fantasy quartet for primary readers. It’s not easy to be a hero when your bum is the size of an airship and you’re bobbing around the ceiling, mocked by angry dwarves. The Fey Queen, Emajicka, is stealing the children of Grimmery for her Collection. She bathes in their nightmares to relieve her own. There is one nightmare she wants most of all. If Ike had stayed home that Tuesday, he would not have been expelled from school, betrayed a princess or robbed a murderous queen. He would not have been tied to an insane imp desperate to eat his liver. He certainly would not have floated across a strange land on an impossible rescue mission, powered by exploding manure. Nor would he have tried to escape via that disastrous troll-bum door. But can he ever escape the Nightmare Queen? Reviews “The funniest horror story you’ll read in a long while – Ian Irvine is a master of fantasy and this is the best yet.” Good Reading “Entertainingly written in an energetic, descriptive style. An extraordinary fantasy world. Fast and furious and very funny.” Reading Time “Irvine has great fun creating his world. Funny and fast-paced, Ike’s story reads briskly, leavened with a little horror and a dash of scatological humour. A fun adventure for upper-primary readers. Recommended.” Bookseller and Publisher “The Headless Highwaymanis the first book in the Grim and Grimmer series from fantasy genius Ian Irvine, who manages to create a world which is believable, thrilling and funny all rolled into one.” Aussiereviews.com “The Grasping Goblintakes the two reluctant heroes on a very wild ride. Very funny too, as well as dangerous, gory and grotty. A grand adventure.” Aussiereviews.com “I gasped and laughed my way through these three books. Action packed.” Dee White, Kid’s Book Capers. “A wonderful tale. Delightfully dark and delicious.” Jacq Ellem, hittheroadjacq.com “Fantasy genius Ian Irvine manages to create a world which is believable, thrilling and funny all rolled into one.” Aussiereviews.com on The Calamitous Queen

The devastating drug, goblin fruit, is off the streets. Better yet, people have finally found a way to interact with their catatonic loved ones. By simply holding their hands, a gesture once taboo, they can travel into the shared dream world of Goblinton, a place of eternal summer. But all is not well in the summer world as it is suddenly plunged into winter, the queen of Goblinton falls into a deep depression, and, worst of all, people begin to go catatonic—their condition in the dream world, mirroring their illness in the real one. They become trapped in their own minds in both places. Unable to move or act for themselves, they are suffering horribly. Todd will stop at nothing to save his uncle and the world that keeps him free and living, even if he has to hurt people to do it.

Book Description
"Augustus must fall upon taking the crown. If he falls, the goblin people will be saved." ~ Shaman Foretelling Augustus an Grakh, goblin warleader, pursues revenge for an atrocity centuries old that drove the last goblins deep underground. He struggles with elements within his own society that would rather forget the old wrong. Between dodging assassins and facing down the powerful goblin shamen caste and their ominous foretelling, Augustus must lead his people against unknown enemies on the surface above. Artorius Blueiron is a captain in the Royal Dwarven Legionnaires. Though dwarves and goblins have been friends for over a hundred years, he must find a way to stop Augustus from upsetting the already worsening conflict between the cannibalistic Tajumwali Hordes and the Palanisi Empire. But he is also at war with his own dwarven ideals - to let what must be happen. Augustus is determined to have revenge for his people. His destiny will lead him into conflict with the last vestige of decent humanity standing against the Tajumwali Hordes. The world above them does not remember the Tarong goblins. But they will - and the history of the event will be written in rivers of blood. A dark fantasy written from the goblin perspective, the reader comes face-to-face with goblin reasoning on justice, revenge, morality and achievement beyond expectations. Suitable for those who are not weak of heart or character.
