Synopsis
Edward d'Eath, scion of a down-and-out noble family, is determined to track down the lost heir to Ankh-Morpork's throne, and place him as leader, no matter how many people he has to take out to do it.Meanwhile, Captain Samuel Vimes, commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, is confronted by new problems. About to be married to Sybil Ramkin, richest woman in Ankh-Morpork, he's got to deal with the Watch's new recruits first: a dwarf and a troll, representatives of two races involved in a grudge so old it doesn't need excuses anymore, and a...woman who is, most of the time, human. He's also got to figure out who stole a mysterious device from the Ankh-Morpork Assassin's Guild, and who's been committing a string of gruesome, seemingly random murders.
