  • Book XII of Discworld; Book III of Witches. Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart, a wise head and poor planning skills - which unfortunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmothers when DEATH came for Desiderata. So now it's up to Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn't marry the Prince. But the road to Genua is bumpy, and along the way the trio encounter the occasional vampire, werewolf and falling house (this is a fairy tale, after all...) The trouble really begins once the reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who not only insists that the servant girl has to marry the prince but who will stop at nothing to achieve a proper "happy ending"...because that's what life is all about...even if it means destroying a kingdom.  Cover art by Josh Kirby.

But Ben's idyll was not to last. The dark and pitiless Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mists, was at the gates of Sterling Silver. His armies ready to invade if Ben would not accept his challenge: to face and defeat seven different champions of Rydall's choice. And accept he must, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic and only Rydall had the key to her fate ...Cover art by Steve Stone.
