All in all things are going surprisingly well until she comes face to face with a boy who is about to die, and realizes that she is destined to have a future with him.
And Susan, who has been carefully raised NOT to know that Death is her grandfather or even to believe in such a person, suddenly finds herself thrust into the role of Death Himself. Then Death goes out on one of his periodic depressions, trying to erase the memory of taking the lives of Mort and Ysabell in a terrible carriage crash.
She has been sent to a girl’s boarding school in Quirm (a cultured city not far from Ankh-Morpork) where, at age 16, she doesn’t understand why she sometimes remembers the future and can become invisible at will. The sixteenth Discworld novel introduces us to a new heroine: Susan Sto-Helit, granddaughter of death by way of death’s adopted daughter Ysabell and his one-time apprentice, Mort.
