Goblin Secrets

Rownie is an orphan in the clockwork city of Zombay, which a river divides into the wealthy north and the destitute south. The south is ruled by Graba, a witch-like figure who takes in orphans as servants. Rownie’s older brother, Rowan, has vanished after deciding to become an actor, something forbidden in Zombay to everyone but goblins. After Rownie steals money from Graba to see a goblin show and slips away from her henchmen, a goblin troupe takes him in, and he continues the search for his brother.
