Magic rules the Discworld. Wizards rule by magic. Wizards are ruled by their habits and desires. And what if, in this world, the first girl-wizard appears—yet guided by a feminist witch? Will this world withstand the pressure of two formidable women?
In the Discworld, casting spells isn’t just taught at the Unseen University of glorious Ankh-Morpork! In a tiny kingdom, forgotten by maps, lived by everyone’s neglect, Lancre, there are three real witches—three fated sisters. The respectable matron Esmeralda Weatherwax, the cheerful, reckless old woman Gita Yagga, and their difficult teenage pupil, Magrat Cheengк. And though tradition forbids witches from interfering in the lives of ordinary people, the fated sisters more than once had to save their country and their friends from serious trouble.
To the witches’ cycle there is also attached a sub-cycle about young Tiffany—another witch-in-training.
