Young Prince Teppic leaves his desert homeland for Ankh-Morpork, seeking the finest education money can buy at the prestigious Assassins’ Guild. But his life takes a dramatic turn when his father dies unexpectedly, forcing Teppic to abandon the art of silent killing for the far messier world of politics. Returning to the tiny, impoverished kingdom of Djelibeybi, he must step into the role of pharaoh, where ancient traditions demand he build a vast pyramid in honour of his father—one so grand it could ruin his kingdom and bend the very laws of time and space.
