Nor did she need to go into that shunned tower and look upon a lump of miswrought amber in which man and monster stood locked in endless embrace, to remind herself of what lay behind.

SPELL OF THE
WITCH WORLD


Somewheres in the infinite spaces beyond the galaxy we know lies a planet with a strange affinity to the Earth.  For Earthling blood has crossed that incomprehensible vastness to mingle with the human-but-alien civilizations of that untracked world...  Earthling blood brought through an ancient "door" set down between the world in times unknwon.

Andre Norton's marvelous novels of the Witch World, so distant that the very laws of space and time differ from those that govern our cosmic sector, have been compared by critics to the work of J.R.R. Tolkien of LORD OF THE RINGS fame, and equally to the great interplanetary adventures of Clifford Simak or an Edgar Rice Burroughs.

But there is nothing "copy-cat" in Andre Norton's work - and in SPELL OF THE WITCH WORLD we have a fantasy-rending treat that compares favorably to the greatest of them all.

Here is the seventh book in the Witch World saga - with all the color and super-science imagery of those that have gone before.  Here you will meet the twins, Elys, the witch-sister, and Elyn, the warrior-brother - and the pact that drew both into perils beyond the laws of our everyday stars.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
