The Shepherd's Crown

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The fifth and final book in the Tiffany Aching series – five Discworld novels by master-storyteller Terry Pratchett.

The Shepherd's Crown sees Tiffany Aching finally achieving her wish. She is now a witch (and a respected one, at that). Overworked and underpaid, that's for certain, but a witch nonetheless.

Help is at hand, though, in the form of young Geoffrey and his goat. Geoffrey wants to be a witch too and thinks he can save the world by building sheds. Well, everyone has to start somewhere.

As new friends are made and old ones return, enemies are stirring. With her beloved chalk in jeopardy, Tiffany will face the toughest challenge of her life.

There will be a reckoning...

Brilliant... This is a book worth reading twice in quick succession.
