Our Own Correspondent	comment	Our Own Correspondent is a 2021 fantasy novel by James Hereward.Erasmus Grey is a newspaper reporter from the city-state of Carentum, who has travelled to the kingdom of Larence to report on rumours of an upcoming war. The problem is, most people in Larence don't know what a "newspaper" or a "reporter" is, and many seem to think that a foreigner who snoops around asking tricky questions about politics and troop movements is probably a spy. Grey quickly gets himself into trouble with the locals in a small town not far from the expected front line, and that's really only the beginning of his problems.In the course of his involuntary adventures back and forth across Larence, Grey is forced to deal with a gang of smugglers, an alleged barbarian queen and a rebellion by a downtrodden minority group, on top of trying to uncover the politics behind the upcoming war. He finds himself accompanied by Pavel Lebedev, a travelling priest, and by a mysterious woman called Lina, who is remarkably good at killing people.
