Better sisters

"The Prophetic Sisters" is the second novel of the "Witches" sub-cycle in the "Diskworld" series. In this witty story, Terry Pratchett continues what he started in the novel "The Right to Enchantment" and tells about witches in a world where only men can be wizards. He subtly weaves Shakespearean allusions into the realities of Discworld and demonstrates that neither fate nor heredity will stand in the way of choosing one's life's work.

Something is wrong in the kingdom of Lancra: the treacherous duke and duchess are plotting, the heir to the throne is far from home, and even nature itself is opposing the new ruler, indifferent to the fate of the land. So a trio of witches - the determined and irrepressible Grandmother Drizzle, the down-to-earth and rude Titunya Ogg and the romantic and naive Magrat Chasnyk - rush to help. Because although witches usually don't interfere in politics, here you can't do without their support (and, of course, a few charms).
