El Imperio más antiguo e inscrutable del Mundodisco anda algo revuelto. Con educación, eso sí. Y la culpa de todo la tienenm por este orden: un panfleto revolucionario titulado "Lo que hice en mis vacaciones..." el mago Rincewind y su fiel Equipaje... una horda de bárbaros capitaneados por un viejo héroe llamado Gengis Cohen... ... y una mariposa muy especial. ¿Quizá por eso la peor maldición que se puede echar en el refinadísimo Imperio Ágata es "Ojalá vivas en tiempos interesantes"? Esta es la historia de una revolución largamente esperada y con giros insospechados. Al fin y al cabo transcurre en el Mundodisco del genial Terry Pratchett.
