Deutsch/German: October 13th, 2016, Fischer Tor, translation by Petra Huber.This was seemingly corrected for the second edition US English print paperback edition. The first edition hardcover US English edition also seems to have a typo in the Table of Contents for chapter 32: Shul evar, Bralchenar, and Narchanezhen, which misspelled Aina Shul ivar's last name, but the body of the book has the correct chapter title. As Orchenis married Paru's sister, it makes sense he would be her brother-in-law, not her uncle. The change seems to have been reversed for the second print edition, US ebooks, and US audiobooks. The mass market paperback US English edition was published in 2015, with notable changes like Maia calling Prince Orchenis Clunethar the 'brother-in-law' of Paru Tethimin and her sisters, rather than 'uncle by marriage' in the original publication. The most commonly used version of the novel appears to be the original April 1st, 2014 edition, published in hardcover, which is also seemingly the edition used for the US ebooks, and both US audiobooks (see the audiobook page for more information on version differences).

There are a variety of changes in the US English editions of The Goblin Emperor that seem to have been sporadically edited across editions, all seemingly minor word changes, or otherwise just the copyright changes for each edition.

The Goblin Emperor includes a wide cast of characters, peoples, multiple belief systems, locations, and associations. See: Articles relating to The Goblin Emperor 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. All the while, he is alone, and trying to find even a single friend. 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.

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. 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.Įntirely 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. 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.
