Kate and Willy, the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge, are arriving in town, the English Council of magicians is getting nervous, and one of the wyrms is pregnant. But the shoe is literally on the other foot this time as Calpurnia Kingsley can now walk on both feet again. So all our magicians are setting out for their final showdown with the wyrms. They’re using a plan put together by a woman whose troubles always accompany her, so what could possibly go wrong? It’s time for “One last try?” in chapter 17 of As the Wyrm Tyrns.

One reason a regular gun won’t work against a wyrm: wyrms are BIG!
