Wyrd Sisters
Book 6 of the Discworld series
368 pages · First published 2013
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick generally prefer to keep royal politics out of their witchcraft. But when a murdered king’s infant heir and crown fall into their care, staying uninvolved becomes rather difficult. With a murderous duke on the throne and a restless royal ghost demanding justice, the witches must decide how far to interfere in the kingdom’s future. Meanwhile, a traveling theater company discovers that a convincing performance can be a dangerous political weapon. Full of formidable women, Shakespearean mischief, and wonderfully inconvenient magic, this comic fantasy asks who gets to tell a kingdom’s story—and what happens when the witches object.
