| Something
new and different has risen up between the rival cities of Ankh-Morpork
and Al-Khali. An entire island popped right up in the middle of
the Disc's circular sea, to be precise. It's uninhabited, small,
desolate, and claimed by both cities. Commander Sam Vimes and his
faithful coppers have to deal with a crime so awful, so horrible, so heinous
that there isn't even a law against it. It's called
'war'.
Greed and ignorance influence politicians to turn a minor squabble into a full-out war, and perfectly normal people start to act like raving idiots. Just another day on the Disc, eh? |

| Thought
to be extinct, a wonderful, and above all living specimen of draco
nobilis (noble dragon, for all of you who can't read that) has
appeared in the city of Ankh-Morpork. This poses a problem due to
the dragon's nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path.
On top of that, it was crowned king very, very quickly (and without any
protest).
Captain Sam Vimes, Constable Carrot, and the rest of the Night Watch risk everything to dethrone the flying royal pain-in-the-bum to restore order (or what passes for it) before Ankh-Morpork is burnt to a crisp. |

| King Verence of
Lancre invites Uberwald's noble vampire family, the Magpyres, into Lancre
for the celebration of the birth of his daughter. Once they arrive,
however, the Magpyres have to desire to leave. Ever.
To save Lancre from being turned into the vampires' favorite dining spot, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Queen Magrat Garlick, and Agnes Nitt, the local witches, must find a way to get rid of the pesky sun-loving, garlic-eating, wine-drinking vampires. And they have to move fast, because these vampires mean business. |

Teppic is a boy who was trained at Ankh-Morpork's famous Assassins' Guild. However, when he discovers his father's death, he must travel to Djelibeybi and take his rightful place as the heir to the throne. It's a job that came much earlier than expected, much to the former pharoah's disappointment (and embarrassment).
The only thing that Teppic knows he has to do is to build a pyramid for dear old Dad to go in. Not just any pyramid, mind you, but the greatest pyramid ever. But the new pharoah discovers deceit, betrayal, headstrong handmaidens, and far stranger things in his realm. Things like quantum geometry. |

| When a
wizard dies, he passes his power on to the eighth son of an eighth
son. However, one wizard accidentally passed his powers on to a baby
without checking the gender first.
And so, Eskarina Smith is the Discworld's very first female wizard, and the wizards of the Unseen university won't accept her! Esk is detemined to get in, however, and she won't let anything get in her way. |
