What this book is about

The king of Lancre has invited a family of modern, conditioned vampires from Überwald to his daughter's naming ceremony — creatures who have trained themselves to overcome their vulnerabilities to garlic, holy water, and daylight. Granny Weatherwax must face enemies who have adapted to every weapon in the witch's arsenal. Pratchett's sixth Witches novel is one of the series' most philosophically rich, examining the nature of evil, faith, and what it means to truly believe in something.
