Book Description
The balance of power in the city is shifting. Nash Harkesh is deliberately pushing it toward collapse. His business interests squeeze the community further into desperation, poverty and addiction. His soldiers prowl the streets, and his sons hunt humans for food. When mankind lies in ruins he'll be there to pick up the pieces, and dragons will once again own the world. Alsander Aubertin wants to eradicate the dragons. It's the legacy of a Silene Knight: Avenging a centuries-long trail of human deaths. But the lives of his enemies are interwoven with his own in ways he never thought to prepare for. Jacan Jantus is stifled by a clan holding tight to its set ways. He sees plainly that the age-old war is a hair's breadth from re-eruping. Jacan can wait for someone to listen, or he can take a side before it's too late. When the enemy is tearing up the fabric of your life strand by strand, the line between holding your ground and chasing ghosts can prove elusive. How far do the dead want you to follow?

Book Description
Chivaka West is a half-dragon, a former Movrekt soldier who has built a home for herself in what was once enemy territory. Violence and coercion are things she is intimately familiar with. Then there are the arts of trust, safety, friendship, charting her own course both in conflict and in love, and, of course, magic. These are things she is only now learning. And they are not easy lessons. In her new family, Chivaka has some of the best teachers she could ever wish for. Isis Va, her daughter Ezri, and the irrepressible Eben Keth teach her more every day about all the ways life can be more complex and more brilliant than she was first taught. But there are things that she must do for herself. Questions only she can build the answers to. Only she can help the Movrekt people, her people, learn to stop destroying themselves and survive in the different world they have all found themselves in after the disastrous Battle of Philadelphia, the main conflict of the third Dragon Civil War.

Book Description
For centuries, dragons and half-dragons have hidden themselves away, bound by a treaty that forbids them to reveal their existence to the human public. But now, on the outskirts of Philadelphia, that ancient peace is coming unraveled. And the world will never be the same. Isis Va is more than a millenium old, powerful, and founder of the Red Glade. Some people believe her to be a goddess. She'd really rather they didn't. Isis's daughter Ezri has been trained to heal, but she still knows violence better than anything else. When the two Red Glade women meet the Darkhan army, their cultures collide. They butt heads on questions small and fundamental alike. Whether it's succeeding in helping the Darkhnit prepare for war, or merely hurting all involved, Isis doesn't know. That question won't be answered until they must join forces to face the threat of Nash, his army of Movrekt half-dragons, and all of the machinations he has set in place to keep the world in chaos, and himself at the head.

Book Description
This collection includes all five Tiffany Aching novels in Terry Pratchett's beloved and bestselling Discworld series, including the final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown. The Wee Free Men: Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, young witch-to-be Tiffany Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland. Luckily she has some very unusual help: the local Nac Mac Feegle—aka the Wee Free Men. A Hat Full of Sky: Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magic—not chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this! Indeed, there is. . . . Wintersmith: When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take the young witch's skill and cunning, as well as help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring. I Shall Wear Midnight: As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone—or something—is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. . . . The Shepherd's Crown: 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. There will be a reckoning. . . .
