Disc World

Equal Rituals

Author Name: Terry Pratchett

Who says women can't be witches? This is a tale about magic; where does it go? And, perhaps more importantly, where does it come from and why? Though it doesn't pretend to answer all or any of these questions. In an equal measure of ritual, a dying wizard attempts to pass on his powers to the eighth son of an eighth son at the precise moment of his birth. The truth is that that son was actually born a girl, as will be discovered too late... too late. "Prattett has pushed the boundaries of funny fantasy and should be recognized as one of the most important contemporary satirists in the English language." Publishers Weekly "For a lighthearted escape from life's cares in a deep place, you can't do better than the Discworld novels." Washington Post
