Fantasy. Fiction. Historical Fiction. HTML:Science fiction meets sword and sorcery in these five novels by the legendary New York Timesâ??bestselling author and "superb storyteller" (The New York Times).

On a planet in a parallel universe where magic is a reality, these five high fantasy novels of the Witch World set on the western continent of High Hallack once again illustrate why prolific author Andre Norton was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

The Jargoon Pard: When a strange traveler gifts young heir to the throne Kethan a belt of leopard skin embossed with a stoneâ??a jargoonâ??carved in the shape of a predatory snow cat, he becomes possessed with its magical powers.

Zarsthor's Bane: A once highborn Lady and her loyal feline join forces with a demented lord and his devoted squire to find the powerful and magical Zarsthor's Baneâ??an object as wreathed in mystery and ancient lore as it is cloaked in peril.

The Crystal Gryphon: Cursed to walk on hooves instead of human feet, Kerovan seeks to claim his rightful place as Lord-heir. But first he and his beautiful wife, Joisanâ??separated by distance but linked in spiritâ??must unlock the secret powers held within the mystical crystal gryphon that adorns her neck.

Gryphon in Glory: The epic saga that began in The Crystal Gryphon continues as Kerovan wanders the Waste in search of his true destiny. Guided by the powerful crystal gryphon, Joisan refuses to leave his side. For it will take both of their great wills to confront the horrors of the coming Darkness. Gryphon in Glory was nominated for the Locus Award.

Horn Crown: The fascinating origin story of how humanity first came to the Witch World through a portal from another realm, bringing the people of Hallack to colonize the abandoned lands. But although the Elder People had gone, the Old Gods still existed to confound the new mor
