Synopsis:

Andre Norton's Witch World is one of the most beloved fantasy worlds ever created. For over three decades Ms. Norton has crafted fine tales set in this strange, wondrous place: tales that have gained millions of devoted fans for the creatures and magic of this distant land of danger and enchantment. Tales of the Witch World was a collaboration between Andre Norton and a dozen of her favorite fantasy writers. New Witch World lore was created by Ms. Norton and her friends, and results were nothing short of grand. Publishers Weekly called it “A welcome exception to the tedium of shared-world anthologies." and Library Journal agreed, noting the book as "A first-rate contribution to one of fantasy’s most enduring world settings." In this second book of new original adventures in Witch World, such talented fantasy writers as Clare Bell, Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Brad Linaweaver, Diana L. Paxson, Melinda Snodgrass, Susan Shwartz, and Sandra Miesel, along with eleven other fine talents, bring their own lore to the world of Grandmaster Andre Norton's greatest achievement.
Here are tales of daring and courage; of damnation and redemption: of love and betrayal: of triumph and loss. Inspired by Andre Norton, in a volume under the creative control of the creator of the Witch World, these stories will give readers the thrill of rediscovering the freshness and beauty of Witch World. Ranging from the war-torn land of Estcarp to the perilous peaks of High Hallack, the Second Book of Tales of the Witch World is a special treat for fantasy fans everywhere.
