The main character, Tiffany Aching, is already 13 years old. She continues her training with the witches in the mountains of Lancre, who (witches!) are, as everyone knows, each odder than the last. And, as usual, Tiffany gets herself into trouble again. This is the story of the eternal opposition between Winter and Summer, which in Discworld are personified and deified… How will she get herself out of the situation into which her own feet have led her—and will she get out at all? Still, she has loyal allies, crivens!
