Mort
Synopsis
Death arrives at a job fair and takes on an apprentice: Mort, an awkward young man with a tendency toward philosophical wondering. As Mort learns the mechanics of mortality and begins to develop feelings for Death's adopted daughter Ysabell, he is given his first solo assignment — and makes a catastrophic mistake that begins to unravel the fabric of reality. The first Discworld novel focused on Death as a character, voted the most popular Pratchett novel in the 2003 BBC Big Read poll.
