The Witches

Equal Rites

Equal Rites cover

Synopsis

They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance. There are some situations where the correct response is to display the sort of ignorance which happily and wilfully flies in the face of the facts. In this case, the birth of a baby girl, born a wizard - by mistake. Everybody knows that there’s no such thing as a female wizard. But now it’s gone and happened, there’s nothing much anyone can do about it. Let the battle of the sexes begin…(Source: Amazon)

Wyrd Sisters

Wyrd Sisters cover

Synopsis

Things like crowns had a troublesome effect on clever folks; it was best to leave all the reigning to the kind of people whose eyebrows met in the middle.

Three witches gathered on a lonely heath. A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the crown of the kingdom, both missing. The omens are not auspicious for the new incumbent, for whom ascending this tainted throne is a more complicated affair than you might imagine, particularly when the blood on your hands just won’t wash off and you’re facing a future with knives in it…(Source: Amazon)

Lords and Ladies

Lords and Ladies cover

Synopsis

‘When you start believing in Spirits, you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are, you’re believing in Gods. And then you’re in trouble.’

Reality is all very well in small doses. It’s a perfectly conventional and convenient way of neutralising the imagination. But sometimes when there’s more than one reality at play, imagination just won’t be neutralised, and the walls between realities come tumbling down. Unfortunately there’s usually a damned good reason for there being walls between them in the first place. To keep things out. Things who want to make mischief and play havoc with the natural order…(Source: Amazon)

Maskerade

Equal Rites cover

Synopsis

There are strange goings-on at the Opera House in Ankh-Morpork. A ghost in a white mask is murdering, well, quite a lot of people, and two witches (it really isn’t wise to call them “meddling, interfering old baggages”), or perhaps three, take a hand in unravelling the mystery.(Source: Amazon)

Carpe Jugulum

Carpe Jugulum 2

Synopsis

Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be priest. He thought he’d come to Lancre for a simple ceremony. Now he’s caught up in a war between vampires and witches. There’s Young Agnes, who is really in two minds about everything - Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies, Nanny Ogg…and Granny Weatherwax, who is big trouble. And the vampires are intelligent. They’ve got style and fancy waistcoats. They’re out of the casket and want a bite of the future. Mightily Oats knows he has a prayer, but he wishes he had an axe. “Carpe Jugulum” is Terry Pratchett’s twenty-third “Discworld” novel - but the first to star vampires. (Source: Amazon.co.uk)
