In a world where magic is strictly divided by gender, young Esk defies tradition. Born the eighth son of an eighth son, she’s destined for wizardry—a role reserved for men. With a stubborn witch as her mentor and a talking staff as her companion, Esk embarks on a hilarious journey to claim her rightful place at Unseen University. Pratchett’s wit shines as he pokes fun at gender roles and magical bureaucracy, weaving a tale that’s both thought-provoking and utterly entertaining. You’ll laugh, you’ll ponder, and you’ll never look at pointy hats the same way again.
Magic never dies. It merely fades away.
