Overview
They don't name goblins like her. They don't expect them to survive, either.
Mockery has never seen the sky. Raised in a hidden underground colony, she knows humans only through warnings: dangerous, incomprehensible creatures best avoided.
Then the humans find them.
Torn from her home and dragged into a civilisation built on slavery, religious certainty and some extremely convenient ideas about its own history, Mockery discovers that survival requires more than hiding. She must learn the language of her captors, understand their peculiar customs-and reluctantly accept that a few of them might not be entirely awful.
Alongside Dumb As, a near-mute goblin giant with considerably more strength than tact, Mockery begins to uncover something far more dangerous than the people who enslaved her: evidence that the history humans tell about themselves may be a lie.
And if the empire isn't holy, perhaps it isn't inevitable either.
Darkly funny, strange and unexpectedly tender, The Goblin Girl is an adult fantasy about prejudice, belonging, found family-and what happens when fantasy's traditional monster gets to tell the story.
For readers who enjoy the dark wit and imaginative worlds of Tamsyn Muir and Frances Hardinge.
