On a world supported on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown), a gleeful, plosive,
wickedly eccentric expedition sets out. There's an avaricious but inept wizard, a naive
tourist whose luggage moves on hundreds of dear little legs, dragons who only exist if you
believe in them, and of course THE EDGE of the world ...

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent
red star, the Discworld has only one possible saviour. Unfortunately, this happens to be
the singularly inept and cowardly wizard called Rincewind, who was last seen falling off
the edge of the world ....

Equal Rites

Quotes |
The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his
shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son.
Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say mysogynistic) world of
magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex...

There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was, quite naturally, a wizard. And here

And then he had an eighth son ... a wizard squared ... a source of magic ... a Sourcerer.

Quotes |
Witches are not by their nature gregarious, and they certainly don't have leaders.
Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders they didn't have. But even she
found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights
would have you believe ...

Being trained by the Assassin's Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not fit Teppic for the task
assigned to him by fate. He inherited the throne of the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi
rather earlier than he expected (his father wasn't too happy about it either), but that
was only the beginning of his problems ...

This is where the dragons went.
They lie ... not dead, not asleep, but ... dormant.
And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are
packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought
sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there's a key ...
