Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett blends fantasy and humour as it follows three witches—Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick—as they get entangled in royal affairs.

Wyrd Sisters

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 sixth Discworld novel and second in the Witches series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

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 . . .

Pratchett's Discworld books have made millions of people happy - Guardian
