Synopsis

Prince Cedric of the Blackrose is betrayed by his allies and slain in what ought to have been a standard goblin extermination mission.
To his horror, he is reborn as a lowly goblin hatchling with all memories of his previous life intact.
Thoughts of vengeance keep him going as he seeks to unravels the many mysteries of the goblin world and their evolution chain.
He vows to make it to the top, mastering goblin warfare as conqueror and ruler.
He, the fabled Goblin Lord.
Destiny awaits.
