Synopsis ~
“Witch World” Arrested for criminal activities,
ex-colonel Simon Tregarth finds himself on the wrong side of the law and on the
run. A magical stone offers hope for a new beginning. But can it really deliver
him to another time and place? Desperate to find out, Simon sits upon the Siege
Perilous and is transported to a distant and enchanted world where magic reins.
“Web of the Witch World” The invading alien
forces of Kolder wait for the chance to conquer Estcarp, home of the Old Race –
peace-loving heirs to ancient knowledge. But Simon knows there can be no peace
until the Kolder no longer exist. Together with his beautiful witch-wife, Simon
sets out to battle this diabolical, mind-altering enemy.
Meanwhile in another part of the Witch World –
“Year of the Unicorn” The Were Riders came to help the men of High Hallack
defeat the Hounds of Alizon. In payment for their magical aid, they were given
13 maidens as brides. But as one of the brides, Gillan, journeys to the
homeland of her new husband, she encounters fierce creatures and Alizon raiders
along the way…and also discovers her own magical powers – abilities she never
knew existed.
