Tiffany Aching comes from a long line of Achings, most notably Granny Aching, a woman of few words but a great deal of quiet power. When the Fairy Queen's world of dreams starts to encroach on the peasants of the Chalk, Tiffany is all that stands in her way. Tiffany's only weapons are Granny's old sheep doctoring book, a frying pan, and a band of drunken, thieving pictsies...The Fairy Queen doesn't stand a chance.
