Synopsis
Kerovan, who bears the amber eyes and cloven hooves marking him as kin to the vanished Old Ones, and his wife Joisan, a trained healer now expecting their child, are drawn from their home in High Hallack toward the mountain stronghold tied to his hidden heritage. Answering a summons rooted in his non-human bloodline, the couple sets out to confront the powers gathered there before their child is born.
Where it sits

- Author: Andre Norton
Notes
- From the series record (Witch World: High Hallack Cycle): A separate High Hallack sub-continuity within the wider Witch World setting, solely written by Andre Norton (Core Canon, the Estcarp Cycle, is unaffected). 2 later titles co-written by other hands (Songsmith 1992 w/ A.C. Crispin, Silver May Tarnish 2005 w/ Lyn McConchie) are deliberately excluded per this project's credited-authorship bright line (Darkover/Pern precedent); The Gates to Witch World (1994) is an omnibus of already-counted novels, not new content.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
