'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...

With an afterword by Joanne Harris.

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

'I love Terry Pratchett' Caitlin Moran

Wyrd Sisters is the second book in the Witches 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.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely fantastic novel. Really cleverly plays with so many different literary themes and tropes, while being hilarious to boot!

Very entertaining, I could (and have) relisten to this many many times over! One of my favourite discworld books!
