Rodney Matthews ~ (NOTE: this release is somewhat in question.
Rodney Mathews completed a series of eight paintings for the “Witch World”
series and attributes one of his paintings to this title. The titles “Witch
World”, “Web of the Witch World” and “Three Against the Witch World” published
by Universal have the same 10 digit ISBN as the Tandem releases of 1970, so I
assigned this ISBN to this edition. However none of the Andre Norton Collectors
that I have conversed with have ever seen or heard of this release.)

Synopsis ~
Kaththea the Sorceress called
forth a power such as no longer existed on the distant planet known as the
Witch World. It was a power so great that it could destroy all that she loved
best – and might even prove to be a greater evil than the shadow itself. Yet
there could be no other choice for Kaththea than to call on Hilarion in the
death-naming. For she was a witch deprived of power and she needed a guide to
regain her lost skills and her lost world. There was only this ancient one, the
opener of gates, with force mighty enough.
