In the wreckage that was once Fabletown, the sinister Mister Dark is building a web of fear and anger that threatens to ensnare any fable that strays too close. Cut off from the Woodland building's business office and its trove of magical weapons, the exiled free Fables now must turn their oldest and most powerful members - the witches and warlocks who once occupied the Woodland's 13th floor - to defeat this latest adversary. But even as those still trapped within the business office struggle against a legion of uncaged foes, rivalries within the Fables' sorcerous community threaten to fracture their united front - and open them up to destruction...

Fables: Witches is the fourteenth book in the Fables series, collecting together issues #86-93 of the original comic book series.

While the meek flying monkey Bufkin is trapped in Fabletown's collapsed business office with the evil witch Baba Yaga, Frau Totenkinder and the witches of the Woodland's thirteenth floor prepare to deal with Mister Dark in what's left of Fabletown. In addition the final third of the book follows Fly (one of my favourite characters).

All in all another cracking Fables collection that will please fans of the series.
