What if cottagecore and goblincore fell in love?

When a halfling, Pansy, and a goblin, Ren, each think they've inherited the same cottage, they make a bargain: they'll live in the house together and whoever is driven out first forfeits their ownership.

Amidst forced proximity and cultural misunderstandings, the two begin to fall in love.

But when the cottage-and their communities-are threatened by a common enemy, the duo must learn to trust each other, and convince goblins and halflings to band together to oust a tall intruder.

'A wonderful and charming treasure of a book that will warm your heart!' Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

'An adorable story that will fulfill your cottagecore dreams' M. Stevenson, author of Behooved

'Cozy fantasy lovers will tuck into this lovely story and want to savor every last morsel' J. Penner, author of A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic
