![]() ![]() Of course, the reader knows that won’t last long. She cannot get into the vampires’ minds, but they can get into hers, and the only way she feels safe is to hide out in a cave. But when they do find her, she refuses to come with them. ![]() It’s not long before the witches know they’re in over their heads, and have to find Granny Weatherwax. They can’t be killed in the usual way–they have trained themselves to overcome the effects of religious symbols, holy water, garlic, sunlight, and other traditional methods. Meanwhile, Granny Weatherwax has gone missing, and the three junior witches: Magrat, Nanny Ogg, and Agnes/Perdita (wait–isn’t that technically 4?) have to work out for themselves how to conquer the vampires. But two people couldn’t be controlled: one was the priest who performed the christening, the other was Agnes Nitt/Perdita, she of two minds, neither of which could be controlled by the vampires. A family of modernist vampires from Uberwald attend the ceremony and quickly and painlessly take over the castle, in part by using mind control on all in attendance. The story begins with the christening ceremony of King Verence and Queen Magrat’s baby girl, Princess Margaret Note Spelling. ![]()
