'I'm feared for the big wee hag...'

Tiffany Aching is a witch. And she thinks she's doing a good job for the people of the Chalk. Even if the job does seem to involve a lot of bandaging legs and cutting old ladies' toenails and not much, well, magic.

Or sleep.

But somewhere – some time – there's a tangled ball of evil and spite, of hatred and malice, that has woken up. And it's waking up all of the old stories too – stories about evil old witches.

Suddenly Tiffany isn't so sure she's doing the right thing. And her tiny allies – the fightin' Nac Mac Feegles – are only making things more difficult.

Things are supposed to look better after a good night's sleep.

But they won't.

They're about to get a lot, lot worse.

And a witch has to deal with what is in front of her...
