The twenty-eighth book in the Discworld series in a limited edition.

Imagine a winding river that forms the border between Borogravia and Zlobenia, changing its course radically after every rain. War is brewing. On the territory that fell to Borogravia after the last rains stood one of the Ankh-Morpork semaphore towers. The Duchess of Borogravia had the tower demolished. To protect little Zlobenia—and, of course, Ankh-Morpork's interests—the Patrician sends a detachment of troops commanded by 'Butcher' Vimes (as the Borogravians call him).

To defend her native Borogravia, Polly enlists, whatever her reasons may be. Lost among human soldiers, troll soldiers, and Igor the soldier, she undergoes tough training on the march to the main units under the command of Corporal Strappi and Sergeant Jackrum. But Polly soon discovers that many things are actually quite different than they seem at first glance…
