A Novel of Discworld

By Terry Pratchett

Young witch Tiffany Aching faces an icy fate when an impulsive move draws the attention of the god of Winter in this enthralling, rib-tickling Discworld adventure from fantasy grandmaster Sir Terry Pratchett.

“Bewitching.” —The Washington Post 

“Pratchett’s unique blend of comedy and articulate insight is at its vibrant best. Full of rich humor, wisdom, and eventfulness.” —Horn Book (starred review)

When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take all her skill and cunning, as well as help from legendary witch Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible fightin’, stealin’ Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring.

Because if Tiffany doesn’t make it to Spring, Spring won’t come for anyone.

  • The Wee Free Men
  • A Hat Full of Sky
  • Wintersmith
  • I Shall Wear Midnight
  • The Shepherd’s Crown
