ā€œUnadulterated fun. . . witty, frequently hilarious.ā€ā€”San Francisco Chronicle

Chaos and hilarity ensue when a young woman becomes the first female wizard, upending the Discworld in this bitingly funny tale from internationally bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but itā€™s not half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

Everyone knows thereā€™s no such thing as a female wizard. So when a dying wizard accidentally passes on his staff of power to an eighth daughter of an eighth son, the exclusively masculine world of wizarding is thrown into a tailspin.

Eskarina isnā€™t afraid of male critics and she isnā€™t going to relinquish this unexpected gift. With a little hocus pocus from Granny Weatherwax, the Discworldā€™s most infamous witch (an old crone who has plenty of experience ignoring the status quo), Esk infiltrates the magical Unseen University and befriends another apprentice, a wizard named Simon.

But power is unpredictable, and these bright young students soon find themselves in a whole new dimension of trouble. . . .

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Equal Rites is the first book in the Witches collection. The Witches collection, in order, include:
