This book took me way longer than I expected to read because, honestly, I didn't like most of it. The reason I got it in the first place is because there is a Diane Duane story in it and I liked that one, but most of the others were really a pain to slog through. Usually I stop reading books I dislike that much, but I wanted to actually finish it for some reason. What a waste of time.

Epigraph
Dedication
To Andre Norton
Master storyteller, mentor, and friend
First words
In Witch World, the modern-day Merlin, Jorge Petronius, describes the purpose of the Siege Perilous. (Introduction, Andre Norton: Beyond the Siege Perilous)
The crimson eye of Keth hovered near the horizon, with the smaller sun of Reth less than an hour behind. ("Sea Wrack")
Love enters in nowhere so readily as through the doors of the already-broken heart. (Gnomics, 412) ("Lior and the Sea")
There was a witch girl lived on a seashore. ("The Pale Girl, the Dark Mage, and the Green Sea")
Where hills curved around southward to make a vale sheltered and sun-warmed, trees grew thickly. ("The Forest")
Quotations
The price of magic, while a suitable diversion while we all await the burning out of the Twin Suns and the final battle between Law and Chaos, puts no beans on the table. (Lythande, "Sea Wrack")
