A missing artifact. A noble on a mission. And an innkeeper who wants none of it.

Minos is a sharp-tongued noble from the Capital, sent to the edge of the kingdom to track down a relic of legend: the Sword of the Godslayer. Cassana is a once-promising wizard who gave up her studies to care for her ailing mother and now runs a quiet inn at the foot of Mount Visiga. She has no time for politics, and even less patience for entitled aristocrats asking too many questions.

Their meeting is anything but friendly. But when a trusted face returns home bringing something long forgotten, Cassana is dragged into a deadly search for answers she never wanted. With danger lurking in the shadows, she must confront her past, and trust a noble she can barely stand, before the truth changes everything.

The Girl from the Inn is the first book in a character-driven fantasy trilogy about loyalty, reluctant partnerships, and the messy truths behind heroic legends.
