In Discworld, the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi suddenly has a new king on the throne - a king that has just finished his final exam to become an assassin in Ankh-Morpork. Teppic comes home after years away at school to discover that nothing has changed - except him. As he tries to find out how he fits into the role of king (no one listens to him, they only listen to the translations of his words provided by the lead priest, Dios), the work on his father's pyramid, the largest ever, commences. However, strange quantum forces and geometry of unknown results are creating strange effects around the pyramid and soon the whole kingdom finds itself changed and isolated from the rest of Discworld.
In typical Terry Pratchett fashion, this book pokes fun at pyramid power, ancient religions, and beliefs, as well as at mathematics, philosophy, and war.
