The Wood Queen

Born into the mysterious world of an ancient alchemical order, Donna has always been aware of the dark feud that exists between the alchemists and the fey. Her own mother - bound by a dark Faerie curse - has been confined to a hospital bed for as long as she can remember . . . But now there is a chance to release her, and Donna will stop at nothing until she is free.

Armed with her own brand of powerful magic, Donna must face the fearsome Wood Queen in order to save her mother. But in the Ironwood - a place that haunts Donna's dreams - there is far greater and more dangerous magic already at work . . .

I definitely don't want to give anything away about the ending, but I have to give the authors credit for a really stunning climax which had me desperate to get my hands on the next in this 5-book series. I can't wait to find out where we go from here!

—— Jim Dean , YA Yeah Yeah

Pratchett's final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling.

—— Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A worthy crown to Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal artistic achievement.

—— Michael Dirda , Washington Post

The last Discworld offering is a poignant farewell, both to Pratchett's readership and to his extraordinary world.

—— Imogen Russell Williams , Metro

As ever in Pratchett's work, empathy and compassion are foregrounded. With its humour and humaneness, it reminds us, too, that its author, as Tiffany says of her deceased friend, 'is . . . was . . . unfollowable.'

—— James Lovegrove , Financial Times

Something to treasure

—— Kirkus Reviews

Funny, sad and extremely moving . . . most will likely consider it one of the strongest, and certainly one of the most – possibly the most – moving [of the Discworld novels].
