Estcarp
Andre Norton · 8 novels · 1963–1987
Estcarp is the founding cycle of Andre Norton's Witch World series, beginning with Witch World (1963) and continuing through books such as Web of the Witch World, Three Against the Witch World, and Sorceress of the Witch World. It is set on a world where magic long ago displaced science and, for centuries, was wielded almost exclusively by women, following outsiders and native witches who defend the ancient realm of Estcarp against rival powers from beyond its borders. Norton wrote most of the cycle alone before bringing in collaborators later in her career, as part of the wider Witch World universe.
