Meanwhile, the Auditors of Reality pay the Assassins Guild a huge fee to assassinate the Hogfather (the equivalent to Father Christmas). Susan Sto Helit has found work as a governess in the Gaiter household, where her ability to see bogeymen and defeat them with a fire poker comes in extremely useful. The story begins in the evening before Hogswatch, the Discworld counterpart of Christmas. This time he's carrying a sack instead of a scythe, but there's something regrettably familiar. Worse still, someone is coming down the chimney. And unfortunately, her only helpers are a raven with an eyeball fixation, the Death of Rats and an oh god of hangovers. Susan the governess has got to find him before morning, otherwise the sun won't rise. There's snow, there're robins, there're trees covered with decorations, but there's a notable lack of the big fat man who delivers the toys.
