Synopsis The book prior to this one, THE COLOUR OF MAGIC, ended with the main characters, the incompetent and cowardly wizard Rincewind and his companion, the tourist Twoflower, falling off the edge of the Discworld. But that doesn't stop their adventures from continuing. At this point, the Discworld itself is in danger, and apparently Rincewind and the extremely powerful magic spell locked inside his head are the key to saving it, if he can manage to stay alive long enough to say the spell. This humorous fantasy is the second in the long-running (and extremely popular) Discworld series.
