But never before has Witch World been evoked in such depth, such scope, such brilliance as in this, Andre Norton"s final novel of her beloved saga. Simon Tregarth returns, leading a planet"s heroes in the final war against the Dark, as the classic fantasy series rises to its monumental, breathtaking grand climax . . .THE WARDING OF WITCH WORLD The witches summon the mighty to Es: Lord Tregarth and his wife, Jaelithe; War Marshal Koris and Lady Loyse of Gorm; the famed adept Hilarion and sorceress Kaththea Tregarth; Dahaun of Green Valley; and many others of power.
