"A master storyteller." -- A. S. Byatt

The nineteenth installment in Sir Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld series -- which has sold more than 23 million copies worldwide.

There's a kind of magic in masks. Masks conceal one face, but they reveal another. The one that only comes out in darkness . . .

The Ghost in the bone-white mask who haunts the Ankh-Morpork Opera House was always considered a benign presence--some would even say lucky--until he started killing people. The sudden rash of bizarre backstage deaths now threatens to mar the operatic debut of country girl Perdita X. (nee Agnes) Nitt, she of the ample body and ampler voice.

Perdita's expected to hide in the chorus and sing arias out loud while a more petitely presentable soprano mouths the notes. But at least it's an escape from scheming Nanny Ogg and old Granny Weatherwax back home, who want her to join their witchy ranks. Once Granny sets her mind on something, however, it's difficult--and often hazardous--to dissuade her. And no opera-prowling phantom fiend is going to keep a pair of determined hags down on the farm after they've seen Ankh-Morpork.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Maskerade is the fifth book in the Witches series.

Industry Reviews

- "Pratchett is as funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh." --"Independent"

- "The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences." --"New York Times"
