At eleven, the young witch Tiffany Aching finally leaves her farm on the chalklands to study proper magic with the elderly witch Miss Level, who is known for her ability to split herself into multiple parts. However, a mad and evil ancient ghost called the Boggart has been lingering around Tiffany, trying to possess her mind and control her thoughts. To repay Tiffany for their past help, a group of dwarves—the blue, thieving, and fighting sprites who live in the ancient tombs of the chalklands—secretly come to her side to protect her from the Boggart.
But the most terrible thing still happens: just before the Witch Trials, the Boggart finally enters Tiffany's mind. Tiffany loses herself and attacks her teacher, Miss Level. Miss Level falls, and Tiffany also falls.
