King Verence the 2nd and Queen Magrat have a baby girl. They are throwing a big party to announce her name, and have invited everyone to the party, including Count Magpyr and his family, which are vampires, or rather vampyres. Granny Weatherwax is feeling really bad, especially because she didn�t get the invitation to the party. The Lancre witches are at a delicate situation - they are 4 witches when they should be only 3. In addition, King Verence has asked an omanian priest to perform the ceremony - Quite Reverend Mightily Oaths, and a lot of weird blue tiny little men have come into Lancre. With this combination, something is going to explode soon - it�s only a matter of time...

The Magpyrs are a new kind of vampires - they like garlic, they are not afraid of the sunlight, and they are out of the coffin and ready to seize the world by the throat. It�s up to Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick, and Agnes Nitt to stop them before they take over the whole kingdom.

Not the best witches book, but full of suspense, and quite a few jokes too. Reading about Agnes and Perdita is worth it.
