~ (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 ~
Taken from their families in the
Year of the Unicorn, the thirteen were the payment to settle the Great Bargain
by which the Hounds of Alizon were finally beaten
from High Hallack with the aid of the Were-Riders. The Were-Riders wore the
bodies of men, but they were not human-kind, and the price of their alliance
was thirteen beautiful maids of High Hallack to be taken as brides to the
unknown. Gillan, one of the thirteen brides, was
destined to see beyond the illusion and mist that cloaked the shapes of the
nomadic Were-Riders, and view the lost powers, the forgotten world, and the
ancient challenge that threatened them all.
