The American writer Andre Norton, the "great lady of fiction" of the XX century, owns more than 130 books. Critics, alas, did not rush to support her, and she herself was too modest person to punch 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 "Sargassi in Space", brilliantly translated by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. And in 1963 in the U.S. published a book called "Witch World" - so was created one of the most famous fantasy worlds in the history of the genre. Norton's universe is amazing - magic here is omnipotent (and even recognized officially), and the laws are immutable, and violated them sooner or later catches up with just retribution. The Witch World can be accessed through a magical Gate - and it gives anyone a wonderful chance to start a new life in a new land. This volume includes three novels, The Three of Swords, Beware the Hawk, and The Cat's Gate, all in new translations. Lord Tregarth, son of the famous Simon Tregarth, a retired colonel who once infiltrated the Witch World, appears in Estcarp with a summons to return to his native lands of Escor to rid them of the invading Dark Powers. Among those who set off with the lord is a frail and timid boy named Yonan. But it is he who gets his hands on a powerful sword that chooses its own master... The same mysterious dream has haunted Tirta for many years and forced her to go in search of Hawk's 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 herself in Eskor, the land of the Witch World. Kelsey must meet Simon Tregarth, Yonan, the Lord of the Green Valley and together with them defend Escor from Evil.
