Ahoj. Jsem Becky Bananas. Je mi jedenáct let, devět měsíců, tři dny a čtrnáct hodin. Chtěla bych: navštívit Říši divů; být pozvaná do talkshow To je tvůj život; stát se slavnou baletkou – a dožít se dvanácti. Doufám, že se mi podaří tohle všechno uskutečnit ještě dřív, než vám začnu vyprávět o svém životě…
Tiffany wants to be a witch when she grows up. A proper one, with a pointy hat. And flying, she's always dreamed of flying (though it's cold up there, you have to wear really thick pants, two layers). But she's worried Tiffany isn't a very 'witchy' name. And a witch has always protected Tiffany's land, to stop the nightmares getting through. Now the nightmares have taken her brother, and it's up to her to get him back. With a horde of unruly fairies at her disposal, Tiffany is not alone. And she is the twentieth granddaughter of her Granny Aching: shepherdess extraordinaire, and protector of the land. Tiffany Aching. Now there's a rather good name for a witch. 'Quite, quite brilliant' Starburst THE FIRST BOOK IN THE TIFFANY ACHING SERIES

Svetová vojna zabila milióny ľudí, premenila Zem na nehostinné miesto a vyhnala preživších na iné planéty. Nové svety pomáhajú osídľovať androidi na nerozoznanie od skutočných mužov a žien. Vláda sa však obáva, že by mohli spôsobiť spúšť, a tak ich na Zemi zakáže. Niektorým sa však podarí utiecť z otroctva a ilegálne sa vrátiana Zem. Nájomného lovca Ricka Deckarda poveria úlohou zbehov nájsť a eliminovať. Je však spravodlivé zabíjať humanoidov len preto, že nie sú ľudia?
