Overview

The Discworld is a flat planet, carried through space on the backs of four elephants who stand upon the shell of the great turtle A'Tuin. It is a place of immense humor and satire. In this third novel of the series, the wizard Drum Billet's dying act is to pass his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son.
