Miss Treason takes Tiffany to see the Dark Morris, a tradition to welcome the winter.

Tiffany has moved on to study under a new witch - this time Miss Treason, who is ancient (she claims to be 113 years old) and creepy as heck. It's been two years since the previous Tiffany Aching book. The third Tiffany Aching book in the Discworld series. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.

References to Discworld inhabit Ancient Eyes, while the valedictory We Shall Wear Midnight has Tiffany foreseeing union in the afterlife - not, according to the album notes, with the Wintersmith but with Pratchett himself. She dashes those hopes, in Prior’s voice, on First Dance, before the call comes for The Summer Lady to end the chilly reign of the titular character. Things get rocky again with the tune Crown & Ice, which soundtracks the Wintersmith’s intentions of making Tiffany his Queen of the Winter World.
