A secret society accidentally summons a mighty dragon to terrorize the city of Ankh-Morpork. Standing in its way is the city’s hopelessly ineffective Night Watch, led by the cynical Captain Sam Vimes and joined by an idealistic recruit named Carrot Ironfoundersson. As chaos spreads through the city, the Watch must somehow become heroes before everything goes up in flames.
