Book description
Simon Tregarth wasn't always a sorcerer. Once, he was a secret agent living a life of espionage and danger. But when circumstances turn against him, he becomes something far more desperate-a hunted man with nowhere left to run.
This audiobook takes listeners on an unexpected journey where modern-day intrigue collides with ancient magic. Tregarth's transformation from spy to practitioner of the arcane arts unfolds with compelling urgency. You'll find yourself drawn into his struggle for survival as he navigates a world where sorcery becomes his only refuge.
Andre Norton's masterful storytelling creates an atmosphere where the ordinary and supernatural merge seamlessly. The narrative moves with purpose, never lingering too long on exposition while still building a rich, believable world. Tregarth's character development feels authentic as he adapts to his new reality.
The pacing keeps you engaged throughout, with just the right balance of action and mystical elements. Norton's experience in both science fiction and fantasy genres shows in her ability to blend these worlds effectively. This isn't just another fantasy tale-it's a story about adaptation, courage, and finding strength in unexpected places.
Listeners familiar with Norton's work will appreciate her signature style, while newcomers will discover why she earned such respect in speculative fiction. The audiobook format brings an additional layer of immersion to this already engaging story.
Witch World succeeds as both an introduction to Norton's Estcarp Cycle and a standalone tale of transformation. It's fantasy with a modern edge, featuring a protagonist who must reinvent himself when everything else falls away.
