Here is an interesting tale in this time of debates about monarchy versus a republic! Ashby Water is a sad, rundown town now that it is part of the Black Count's empire, industrialised and under the heel of Captain Zouche and Miss Moldavia. Church and King have been destroyed and the ancient line of Quenchs, dragon slayers to the king, are reduced to one small girl, Lily who is needed when a dragon comes.
