High Hallack
Andre Norton & A. C. Crispin · 8 novels · 2 novellas · 1 collection · 1965–1992
Andre Norton's High Hallack cycle is set within her larger Witch World, a parallel planet where ancient magic supplanted technology and was long practiced only by women. The High Hallack novels follow various protagonists -- outcasts, shape-changers, refugees -- navigating the region's witches, invaders and old magic, mostly independent of each other beyond the shared setting. A. C. Crispin later collaborated with Norton on further entries in the cycle.
