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 . . .

    Kat Brown, Daily Telegraph

    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."
