Mort
Book • 1987
Mort is the fourth novel in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
The story follows Mort, a gangly and unpromising teenager, who is hired as an apprentice by Death, the Grim Reaper of the Discworld.
As Mort learns his duties, he becomes entangled in a complex situation when he falls in love with Death's adopted daughter, Ysabell, and intervenes in the fate of Princess Keli, who is scheduled to be assassinated.
This interference creates an alternate reality and puts the entire fabric of causality at risk.
The novel explores themes of mortality, fate, and the human condition with Pratchett's characteristic humor and wit.
