Synopsis
Silver May Tarnish follows Lorcan, a young lord whose family and holdings were largely destroyed during an invasion of the Dales, and Meive, an apprentice to a wise woman skilled in beekeeping and other crafts. After Lorcan is taken captive by bandits, Meive helps free him, and the two form an unlikely partnership. Over the course of the following year, spanning what the Dales call the Year of the Red Boar and the Year of the Hippogriff, they set out to rebuild the abandoned settlement of Honeycoombe, gathering scattered survivors of the war, hiring mercenaries for protection, and scraping together the resources needed to bring a dead community back to life. Their efforts to reestablish Honeycoombe are complicated by the lingering threat of a neighboring lord with designs on the fragile new settlement they are building together.

Notes
- Co-written with Lyn McConchie.
- 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.
