Jervon aids Elys in her quest to rescue her brother from some unknown magical harm.This is followed by the short story 'Dream Smith.' It features Collard and Lady Jacinda, both disabled and largely hidden away from their fellows. When war comes to High Halleck, Elys and Elyn are parted and Jervon enters the scene as an injured refugee. Both were trained as fighters by their warrior father, but Elys also trained as a wise woman and received the magical chalice created by their mother to aid in their conception. She was raised by the Wise Woman of the local village, along with her twin brother Elyn, after their Witch mother died giving birth to them. Her parents were rescued from a boat lost at sea, fled from Estcarp and landing in High Halleck. Spell of the Witch World was published in 1972 and contains the novella 'Dragon Scale Silver,' divided into 7 chapters and introducing us to Elys. It was in the year of the Fire Troll that the sea-raiders struck at High Hallack and, promise-bound, its sons rose to the defense of their Dale. But there stood among their number a youth whom the Dalesmen had merely fostered: Elyn, born of Estcarp, whose birthright was the wisdom of the Wise. But Elyn of Estcarp was still young and, though a warrior impatient for battle, his unscarred sword had learnt little of the dark treacheries of war. In his most desperate hour of danger, Elyn’s stoutest weapon would prove his brave witch-sister Elys. Together, witch and warrior would face perils beyond the laws of our everyday stars! Their fates were bound by their mother’s white magic-though darkness and battle strove to drive them apart.
