However none of the Andre Norton Collectors that I have conversed with about it
have ever seen or heard of this release.)
Synopsis ~
Ciara of Elmsgarth is only a small girl when the
edict is issued by the Duke of Kars: KILL ALL WITH WITCH BLOOD, AND TAKE ALL
THEY OWN. A greedy mob murders her family, but Ciara is protected by the
powerful Lord Tarnoor and his son, Trovagh. Safe in the isolated, siege-proof
citadel of Aiskeep, Ciara and Trovagh grow, marry, and raise children. Then the
folly that grips Karsten worsens. Bigotry and corruption lead to crime, civil
strife, war, and poverty--and the rise of an evil sorcerer, a black mage on a
vendetta to destroy all Ciara has, and everyone she holds dear.
