The American writer Andre Norton, the “great lady of science fiction” of the 20th century, has written more than 130 books. Critics, alas, were in no hurry to support her, and she herself was too modest a person to make her way to the pedestal. Nevertheless, her talent shone so brightly that it did not go unnoticed. In our country, the name of the writer became known after the release of the novel “Sargassy in Space,” brilliantly translated by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. And in 1963, a book called “The Witch World” was published in the USA - this is how one of the most famous fantasy worlds in the history of the genre was created. Norton’s universe is amazing - magic here is omnipotent (and even officially recognized), and the laws are immutable, and those who break them early or fair retribution will come later. You can enter the Witch World through a magical Gate - and this gives anyone a wonderful chance to start a new life on a new land. This volume includes three novels: “Three of Swords”, “Beware the Hawk” and “Cat Gate” - all in a new translation. Lord Tregarth, the son of the famous Simon Tregarth, a retired colonel who once penetrated the Sorcerous World, appears in Estcarp with a call to return to the native lands of Escor in order to rid them of the invasion of the Dark Forces. Among those who set off on the journey with the lord is the frail and timid boy Yonan. But it is he who falls into the hands of a powerful sword, which chooses its owner... The same mysterious dream has haunted Tirtha for many years and forces her to go in search of Hawk Cliff - a ruined fortress that once belonged to her family... In a deserted corner of the North Scottish Highlands, Kelsey saves a wild cat from a hunter, in the heat of battle flies through a stone arch and... finds himself in Escor - the country of the Witch World. Kelsey will have to meet with Simon Tregarth, Yonan, the Lady of the Green Valley and together with them defend Eskor from Evil.
