You’d think that in a city ruled over by a literal Dragon Emperor, where only the city walls keep back the hordes of zombies, everyone would work together and get along lest The Dragon eat you or the Watch decide to accidentally throw you out a gate just as dusk is falling and the zombies are getting restless.
But when there’s Dragon Essence being sold, wizards looking for volunteers for their experiments, and rumours of untold riches in the ruins outside the city, there’s always crime somewhere.
And sometimes, when you’re very unlucky, it falls on your doorstep.
