The Shepherd's Crown is the forty-first, and final, Discworld novel. The elves are back, and Tiffany Aching has to handle the incursion without help from any of her usual comrades-in-arms.

Tropes used in The Shepherd's Crown include:

  • Coming of Age Story: Tiffany has no choice but to act as an adult. She's all that stands between the elves and the people who trust her.
