Witch World

“The Enchanted World” is the first book of the eponymous cult fantasy classic series by Andre Norton. … What if, with the help of Merlin, King Arthur discovered a magical stone, an ancient menhir capable of judging a person, determining their qualities, and opening the door to exactly the place where their fate awaits? There is no return—only the most desperate dare to take the step. But an out-of-service colonel, Simon Tregarth, has nothing to lose—he is on the run, and nowhere else to hide. By stepping into the portal, Tregarth finds himself in the land of Estcarp, where powerful witches rule, having inherited centuries of knowledge. But Estcarp faces mortal danger—the land is being surrounded by enemies. Driven by an instant call of the heart, Simon enters their service and becomes a warrior of Estcarp… And so begins an epic saga full of adventure and magic that has been captivating readers for over 50 years.
