The Duke's Ballad (Witch World: Estcarp Cycle, Bk 10)
reviewed on + 65 more book reviews


You have to love Andre Norton and the Witch World. This is like the bazillionth Witch World novel. You don't have to read them in order-- though I keep thinking it would be fun to try. Aisling, a powerful young witch, is forced to defend Kars by overthrowing her older brother, Kirion, who is using his power to ensnare the Duke. She finds romance (just a smidge-- Andre wrote science fiction/fantasy in the 50's when she took a man's name just to get published-- so no explicit sex or anything like that)and unexpected allies as she goes.
