The Watch

Captain Sam Vimes' life in the City Watch is changed forever when an impossible figure from his past returns to Ankh-Morpork. 20 years ago, Vimes watched his street brother and gang-leader Carcer Dun fall from a fatal height. Somehow, Carcer is back.

Using the policing know-how of Constable Carrot, the Watch connects Carcer's evil plan to strange goings-on at the magical institution called Unseen University. Perhaps a missing library book has something to do with the dragon attacks in the city.

The Watch must rob the city's most secretive and dangerous institution in a desperate effort to find the magical artifact known as Gawain.

Carcer is willing to do anything to find the sword for Gawain; the Watch is close on his tail, following him to Twilight Canyons, a place where the elderly residents await death; death patiently waits for them to draw their last breaths.

The Watch must trek through the Unreal Estate to destroy the sword in a magical lake.

In the race to obtain the second artifact, Cheery, Angua and Carrot venture into the Mines of Tak, where Cheery must confront the darkness in her past; meanwhile, Vimes and Sybil defend the Watch House from Doctor Cruces and her Assassins.

Sam Vimes wakes up into an alternate universe where he's a prisoner in the middle of a jailbreak; in Ankh-Morpork, the alternate-version of Vimes is leading The Watch straight into Carcer's trap.

Carcer's got everything he needs to control the Noble Dragon and destroy Ankh-Morpork. With hysteria on the streets and DEATH preparing himself for a very busy day, can The Watch, this band of misfits, step up and save the city from annihilation?
