This classic Discworld novel now has a brand-new cover look to celebrate 50 years of Terry Pratchett! Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. The trouble is, he's not very good at it. All he wants is the usual three wishes: to be immortal, rule the world and have the most beautiful woman fall madly in love with him. The usual stuff. But what he gets is Rincewind, the Disc's most incompetent wizard, and Rincewind's Luggage (the world's most dangerous travel accessory) into the bargain. Terry Pratchett's hilarious take on the Faust legend stars many of the Discworld's most popular characters in an outrageous adventure that will leave Eric wishing once more - this time, quite fervently, that he'd never been born. Readers adore Eric: ' Packed with references and laugh-out-loud scenes and I enjoyed myself immensely' Goodreads reviewer, ' Just brilliant , one of Pratchett's many masterpieces of imagination.

An Envy fiend can only crave. And what she craves most is the forbidden body of a beautiful witch. Witches follow many laws, but Angela Norwood loves breaking the rules. She can get away with it too, if she stays focused. When your arcane research could get you thrown on a pyre, you shouldn't entertain distractions. That includes the shadowy demon who just joined the Court of Chains, and whose mocking comments and green-eyed stares are fueling some highly inappropriate fantasies. There's nothing Vex hates more than witches, and brilliant, gorgeous, untouchable Angela Norwood is the most detestable witch of all. With her provoking smirks and secret intentions, the Chains witch has turned into an all-consuming fixation. Her prim and proper act may have fooled everyone else, but Vex won't rest until she's revealed Angela's twisted desires. But others have noticed the clever witch of Chains. Enemies beyond the Court have taken an interest in her secretive work, and suddenly, Vex has a choice to make. Let the threat to the Chains go undisturbed. Or wreak havoc on the people who'd dare threaten the object of her obsession. Green-Eyed Monster is an enemies-to-lovers sapphic paranormal romance featuring wicked witches, sinful demons, and an arcane love story that defies impossible odds.
