Has anyone else read these books? I have simply loved them from the first time I read them,They are a set of books based on the premise that in an alternate universe there is a place called Estcarp where magic is alive and well and still going strong,but only women can use it,they are naturally called the witches- their is 3 way's in the power the right hand,which is what we consider the good or light way,the left hand which is what we would call the evil,or dark way,and neither,which is to say kind of like a neutral,they will use their powers for whomever they wish,in whatever way they wish. This land is the home of the Old Race, who are under siege from almost every corner of their world from the younger races, the old race is in trouble,until a man appears in their midst who is from "modern" Day Earth, Going against everything that is natural in EstCarp,this man can use the power which make's him a threat to the Council of Witches, but a blessing to the very people who need his help the most. This series was originally intended as only a two book set, but as it grew in popularity the Author Andre Norton,acquiesed to the demands of her fan's and wrote more books to go with it. It is a very involved set,that takes awhile to get through,but in the end it is definately worth the time it takes to read them.
