Sourcery is the fifth Discworld book, and the third to star Rincewind, this time without Twoflower. While not a direct sequel to The Light Fantastic, it does continue Rincewind’s story.
Blurb
There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was, quite naturally, a wizard. And there it should have ended. However (for reasons we'd better not go into), he had seven sons. And then he had an eighth son... a wizard squared... a source of magic... a Sourcerer.
