Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the second book in the Witches series, part of the Discworld novels.
'Pratchett's Discworld books have made millions of people happy' Guardian
'Comedy fantasy at its very best' 5-star reader review
'Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.'
Three witches gathered on a lonely heath.
A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing. Witches don't have these kinds of leadership problems themselves - in fact, they don't have leaders.
Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don't have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe.
Particularly when the blood on your hands just won't wash off . . .
Wyrd Sisters is the second book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
