HarperVoyager snares four books in LitRPG series The Wandering Inn
HarperVoyager has acquired four titles in pirateaba’s The Wandering Inn Series, for immediate publication in e-book and subsequent publication in print in autumn.
Editor Chloe Gough acquired UK and Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, from Katherine Falkoff at HarperCollins US. It will be a global campaign for HarperVoyager with David Pomerico publishing in North America. World English rights were acquired by HarperCollins US from Drew Gilmour at Achilles Literary Agency.
pirateaba is the anonymous author of The Wandering Inn web serial and webcomic, as well as the Singer of Terandria series and the graphic novel The Last Tide. When pirateaba began writing the series, they were stocking shelves at Costco while working toward their dream of writing. Within two years, the series’ success allowed them to dedicate themselves to The Wandering Inn full-time, the publisher says.
The series’ blurb reads: “Dropped from our world into a dangerous land where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs and hungry Necromancers. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn. She’s an Innkeeper.”
The first two books in the series, The Wandering Inn and No Killing Goblins, will be published in paperback for the first time on 24th September 2026, with books three and four, Fae and Fare and Immortal Games, following on 5th November 2026. All four re-edited e-books will be available to readers from 7th April 2026.
Gough said: “The Wandering Inn is such a beloved staple of the LitRPG genre, it’s an honour to publish it on the Voyager list. We can’t wait to introduce new readers to its cosy world and epic adventures and to bring a paperback edition to the shelves of the incredible Innverse community.”
pirateaba said: “The Wandering Inn and web serials have entered into literature as a new medium, and old. Serialised fiction has existed in magazines which published Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but they have returned in this era in a new form. I thank HarperCollins for taking the story to wider audiences worldwide.”
