The Last Dragonslayer

A fresh take on the wizard and dragon genre, an off-kilter mash-up world of modernism and medieval barbarism, torpid dragons, useless wizards and rubbish kings - and all seen through the eyes of our heroine, Jennifer Strange. Orphaned, indentured, seemingly with little prospects, she is thrust reluctantly into the controversial dragonslaying business, where she must do the right thing, even if the power of the king and big industry is heaped against her. But she's resourceful, principled, smart and funny, and has fellow orphan Tiger Prawns to assist her, along with her ever-loyal quarkbeast.
