Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

Trade Paperback – Harper Paperbacks – July 2025 – 354 pages

Om needs an acolyte and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One – or at least the only One available. He’s a simple lad whose highest ambition is tending his melon patch – until he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god for sure. But bossy as Hell.
