Katherine Addison - The Goblin Emperor (epub)

The youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor has lived his entire life in exile,
distant from the Imperial Court and the deadly intrigue that suffuses it. But when
his father and three sons in line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he
has no choice but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir.

Entirely unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no advisors, and
the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his father and brothers could make an
attempt on his life at any moment.

Surrounded by sycophants eager to curry favor with the naïve new emperor, and
overwhelmed by the burdens of his new life, he can trust nobody. Amid the swirl
of plots to depose him, offers of arranged marriages, and the specter of the unknown
conspirators who lurk in the shadows, he must quickly adjust to life as the Goblin
Emperor. All the while, he is alone, and trying to find even a single friend . . .
and hoping for the possibility of romance, yet also vigilant against the unseen
enemies that threaten him, lest he lose his throne-or his life.
