They were to be comely and without illness or some other blemish, and they were to become the brides of thirteen of the Riders. And they agreed to enter the war on the side of the Dalesmen on one condition: after the war was over, the Dale Lords would provide the Riders with thirteen maids of marriageable age. There are roughly thirty members of the Were Rider “Pack,” as they call themselves. They have other magic as well, of course, but the Dalesmen know them best for their ability to assume the forms of beasts and birds. You are probably wondering who or what the Were Riders are, aren’t you? Bespelled by an Adept in the hidden realm of Arvon, which is sealed off from the rest of High Hallack, the Were Riders are men who can turn into animals. That was the appearance of the Were Riders on the side of the Dalesmen. No, only one thing tipped the balance in their favor toward the end of the war. But even this was not enough to secure the victory of High Hallack over the invaders.
The uniting of the Dale Lords, coupled with the loss of their support from the alien Kolder, weakened the Hounds’ ability to fight the Dalesmen, to be sure. The long war between the Dalesmen and the Hounds of Alizon is finally over.
We are in uncharted, amazing territory here. Welcome back to the Witch World, readers! This book – Year of the Unicorn – takes place in the Dales of High Hallack, the western continent of the Witch World.
