About How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days
Pansy the halfling and Ren the goblin each believe they have inherited the same forest cottage, so they make a bargain: share the house until one drives the other out. Forced proximity and cultural misunderstandings soon turn into affection, but a shared threat to the cottage and both communities forces them to trust each other.
