Lily's Adventures

The covers shown below are the covers of the Australian (ABC Books) edition. If you come from another country the covers of the books you buy will look different. You can see some of the covers from Lily's many foreign editions by clicking here.

As a family of dragon slayers, the Quenches of Ashby have always been a burning success...until the evil Black Count invades, and the family's fortunes go into a downward spiral.

Then a dragon unexpectedly arrives and Lily, last of the Quenches, is called upon to fight it.  Soon she finds herself on a desperate, magical quest to save Ashby from destruction -- and restore the lost heir to his throne...


In the Black Mountains there's nothing but snow, ice and blizzards.   But it's there that the magical blue lily grows,  which can help Lily Quench and her friends stop the evil Black Count from invading their homeland.

With her friend Queen Dragon,  Lily embarks on a perilous mission to bring the blue lily back to Ashby.  Captured and imprisoned, then befriended by the count's son, Gordon, they flee to the eerie heights of Dragon's Downfall...the place where Lily and Queen Dragon must confront their greatest fear.


Kidnapped and taken back into the past to a crumbling castle in the middle of a creepy marsh, Lily Quench searches for the long lost treasure of Mote Ely--and a way back to her own time.

Locked in a dungeon, attacked by a dragon, and befriended by her eccentric great-great-great-great grandmother, Lily finds that enemiescan sometimes be friends--and that old friends can unexpectedly turn into enemies.


At the ends of the earth is Skellig Lir,  a dreamy magical island that is inhabited by mysterious people with strange powers.  To get there, Lily Quench and Queen Dragon must brave magic, storms and seas swarming with deadly sea dragons -- and Ariane, the rebellious keeper of the lonely lighthouse of Skellig Mor.

In the depths of an undersea cavern, Lily struggles to communicate with the sea dragons and escape the skeleton-filled tunnels beneath the lighthouse.  Only then can she complete her quest: to enter a fantastical library that has existed from the beginning of the world...


In a sedgy wilderness far to the north is a gigantic pryamid filled with secrets. It is home to three evil magicians who built the Eye Stones: sinister doorwarys in time that Lily Quench and Queen Dragon are determined to close off forever.

When Queen Dragon vanishes, Lily fights to uncover the pyramid’s mysteries. What is the dreadful truth behind the magicians’ unnaturally long lives? What is their real interest in Queen Dragon? And who is the mysterious dragon imprisoned in the pyramid?

Surrounded by magic, lies and trickeries, Lily faces her most dangerous adventure yet…


Something strange is happening in the Black Mountains. The Black Empire is crumbling and the miners are in revolt. Manuelo, a strange, Robin Hood-type figure, is believed to be responsible. But when a stolen dragonet full of fleeing miners arrives in Ashby Water, Lily Quench and her friends have to decide whether Manuelo is friend or foe.

In the snowbound valleys of the Black Mountains, Lily and Queen Dragon find themselves trapped in a deadly war between Manuelo’s followers and the Black Squads who control the mines. Double-crossed and alone, in peril of her life, Lily must discover Maneulo’s identity and find out what he is really fighting for.


Thousands of years ago Queen Dragon's beloved fiancé, King Dragon, disappeared during the Great War of the Dragons. Now he has been found in a magical valley cut off from the rest of the world -- but nothing about the discovery is a Queen Dragon and her friend Lily Quench expected.

A terrible evil threatens King Dragon and his companions. But Black Squad troops are also surrounding Lily's home town of Ashby Water. Can Lily defeat her own enemies and give Queen Dragon her last chance at happiness?  Can she save her friends in Ashby in their darkest hour?


No matter who you are, there are always bad times and evil people. When they come, you have to put your armour on and get ready to fight.

Lily Quench knows more about fighting dragons than anyone else alive. This book contains everything a budding dragon slayer needs to know about dragons and the art of Quenching. With articles by Queen Dragon, Matilda Drakescourge, King Lionel of Ashby and of course, Lily Quench herself, Lily Quench’s Companion will show you how to distinguish good dragons from bad, even when they are wrapped in human skin.

Contains two brand new Lily Quench stories, ‘Queen Dragon’s Christmas’ and ‘The Incompetent Quench’.
