Pyramids

Author: Terry Pratchett

In this hilarious Discworld adventure, young Teppic inherits the throne of an ancient kingdom obsessed with building pyramids.

A rollicking tale of camels, assassins, and mathematics gone mad that’ll leave you chuckling long after the last page.

Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you.
