It's an ability that serves him well in his job as a street constable, but it's not enough to keep Ashton out of the danger threatening his entire kingdom. It all begins when Ashton is still a child. His grandfather sees his potential and encourages him to become a constable for the kingdom. Ashton sees his new career as an exciting adventure, but it may prove to be the death of him. He just doesn't seem to have very good luck. Some constables go their whole careers without drawing their weapons, but Ashton is forced to kill two men on his first shift.

Ashton remains committed to the cause, but the disturbing reality he sees in his work begins to wear on him. Then, Ashton meets Princess Catherine. His luck just might be changing!

'In her moving and sympathetic book, Paula Knight charts the emotional cost of the pursuit of motherhood and thoughtfully challenges the societal notion that to live a life without children is to live a lesser life.'— Aminatta Forna A clarion call to recognise that parenting isn't the be-all and end-all of family life, Paula Knight's extraordinarily powerful graphic memoir is a beautifully drawn, funny and sometimes painful exploration of what it takes to be a woman, and a mother—or not. In 1970s Northeast England, best friends Polly and April are sitting up a tree, whispering about periods and swapping their hazy knowledge of the facts of life. They both expect to have families one day—it's the normal script to follow, isn't it? But, as Polly grows up, education and career become important too, and she believes that she can have it all. When, some years later, Polly settles with Jack, her career has taken off and she feels torn over whether or not to try for a baby. Has she left it too late? Did she have any control over that choice? They go ahead, but, after repeated miscarriage and chronic illness take their toll, Polly and Jack have to face a very tough decision. As Polly looks back to discover the origins of her own expectations, she has to confront what family means in a society where 'family' usually means 'children'.
