The Shepherd's Crown

A SHIVERING OF WORLDS

Deep in the chalk, something is stirring. Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots – an old enemy is gathering strength.

This is a time of endings and beginnings, a blurring of edges.

Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land, her land.

There will be a reckoning . . .

Reviews

  • This isn’t just a great Discworld book, it’s extraordinary . . . A magnificent sign-off.

    Kat Brown, Daily Telegraph

  • From the shadow of dementia, a brilliant novel shines: Terry Pratchett's last book is a funny, fearless farewell . . . This is a book worth reading twice in quick succession.

    Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

  • A joyful sign-off from a master of fantasy fiction . . . High-octane literary enjoyment.

    Nicholas Tucker, Independent

  • Terry Pratchett was never so witty, direct and generous as in this, his final Discworld novel.

    Amanda Craig, Guardian

  • The Shepherd’s Crown is a sometimes sad, often funny and eminently suitable testament to the life and career of Terry Pratchett.

    David Barnett, Independent

Extracts

The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

Tiffany wants to be a witch when she grows up. A proper one, with a pointy hat. And flying, she’s always dreamed of flying (though it’s cold up there, you have to wear really thick pants, two layers). Read an extract from The Wee Free Men, the first book in the Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett.
