When a bumbling fairy godmother dies, her duties fall to the unlikely trio of Granny Weatherwax, Magrat Garlick, and Nanny Ogg. These reluctant heroines must hop on broomsticks and journey to the kingdom of Genua, where a power-hungry godmother is orchestrating a "happy ending" that will destroy the realm. Along the way, they encounter vampires, werewolves, and the occasional falling house. But these three witches are the only ones who can outwit their cunning counterpart and stop the servant girl from marrying the prince. The fate of an entire kingdom rests in their hands as they navigate the treacherous world of fairy tale politics.
