Three quests joined together beneath a moon of three rings - an adventure novel brimming with all the warmth, invention and magic that are uniquely Andre` Norton's.
Orphaned, deformed, Farree was a beastmerchant's slave in a spaceport slum. Suddenly he and his only friend, a venomous hunting pet, Toggor the smux, were released by two strangers: Lady Malelen, the Moon Singer, a psychic body-stealing sorceress; and Lord-One Krip Vorlund, a telepathic ex-Free Trader. With their encouragement, Farree began to learn self-respect as his limited mental rapport with animals grew into a full mind-touch
But Farree's freedom brought new peils: Malelen and Krip had earlier stopped the intergalactic Theive's Guild from looting Forerunner artifacts, and the pirates had marked them for death. On planet and in space, the three and their beasts repeatedly fought off Guild attacks, as their course led to the planet Yiktor-Maelen's homeworld, form which she had been exiled by her people, the Thassa mindmasters.
But now she had to return: a secret Guild plot centered on Yiktor, the pirates had perfected a mind shield, and the non-technological Thassa might not be able to stop the plundering of their world.
Thus, with Farree, Krip and Maelen each helping and protecting the others, the triple quests began. One would lead to success; one to disaster, destruction and terrifying devastation. And one would lead to an incredible transformation, to the emergence of a being whose beauty, grace and power had never before been seen in the galaxy; and to a great- and possibly unsolvable- mystery.
Eydryth is a Master Songsmith ... who has no magic. She will do anything to save
her father from the evil that has stolen his mind. But the paths to the magic of
the Witch World are many - and to save the ones you love, the truest magic must
come from the heart ...
Andre Norton has been called "one of the most popular writers of our time"
(Publishers Weekly) and has for over twenty-five years enchanted readers with
the most famous and popular of her works: the enthralling Witch World. With
bestseller A.C. Crispin, Norton has woven an eternal love story, filled with
magic and wonder. SONGSMITH is the novel that Witch World fans have been waiting
for - a shining jewel in the Witch World cosmos.
"An excellent read" - Starlog
To pay an unearthly tribute, thirteen must leave with the Were Riders, thirteen
torn from their homeland to ride with illusion and darkness, to travel the
unmapped lands with the nomads who were more than men and less than human.
That was the price to be paid for an unholy alliance without which the homeland
would have been lost. But was the price worth paying? Gillan, who became one of
the Thirteen, was to find out... and in the finding, find a lost land, a
forgotten world.
