Maagrat and Verence plan a huge party to present their daughter to the kingdom and name her at the ceremony. However, in an effort to be more modern, Verence invites his vampire neighbours who take the invitation as an excuse to invade Lancre.

I cannot praise Pratchett more nor his witches. This is a funny and thoughtful book that discusses religion, humanity and developing character in a light manner that ends up being remarkably powerful. I love how these characters always leave me wondering and thinking about life.
