Better Homes and Gardens

In Transylvania Waters Mordonna and Nerlin should be King and Queen. But there are some seriously nasty characters standing in their way . . .

After years on the run, the Floods are coming home. And just in time too. Since Nerlin and Mordonna fled Transylvania Waters, things there have gone from worse to much worse. King Quatorze has bled the country dry. He's even sold everyone's shoelaces.

It's time for a change, time for life with a lot less cabbage and a lot more chocolate. But first the Floods have to get rid of the old king . . .
