Summary:
In the bustling, grimy city of Ankh-Morpork, the Night Watch is a mere shadow of its former self, led by the disillusioned and often inebriated Captain Vimes. Crime is organized and sanctioned, with the Thieves' Guild operating under legal protection. Amidst this backdrop, a mysterious dragonbegins to terrorize the city, leaving destruction in its wake. The citizens are both terrified and fascinated by the creature, which defies the laws of nature with its immense size and power. The dragon's presence acts as a catalyst for change, stirring the stagnant waters of the city and its inhabitants.
