Books like Ciara's song by Andre Norton
Andre Norton’s Witch World saga opens with the harrowing decree to eliminate all with witchblood. Ciara of Elmsgarth, a small girl when the order is issued by the Duke of Kars, is spared by the powerful Lord Tarnoor and his son Trovagh. The family takes refuge in the fortified citadel of Aiskeep, where Ciara and Trovagh mature, marry, and raise children. As the turmoil in Karsten escalates—driven by bigotry and corruption—civil war, crime, and poverty sweep the land. Amid this chaos rises a black mage, an evil sorcerer on a vendetta to destroy Ciara and everyone she loves, setting the stage for epic conflict within the hidden realms of the Witch World.
