THE FINAL DISCWORLD NOVEL
Deep in the Chalk, something is stirring. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots. An old enemy is gathering strength.
This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. Now Tiffany stands between the light and the dark, the good and the bad.
As the fairy horde prepares for invasion, Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land. Her land.
There will be a reckoning...
The Shepherd's Crown is the fifth book in the Tiffany Aching series, and the final book in the Discworld series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Critics Review
-
This isn’t just a great Discworld book, it’s extraordinary . . . A magnificent sign-off.
Daily Telegraph -
From the shadow of dementia, a brilliant novel shines: Terry Pratchett’s last book is a funny, fearless farewell . . . This is a book worth reading twice in quick succession.
Daily Mail -
A joyful sign-off from a master of fantasy fiction . . . High-octane literary enjoyment.
Independent -
Terry Pratchett was never so witty, direct and generous as in this, his final Discworld novel.
Guardian -
The Shepherd’s Crown is a sometimes sad, often funny and eminently suitable testament to the life and career of Terry Pratchett.
