Summary of the Story:
The feisty, ESP-talented Earth woman Sara Mackenzie
has arrived on the anomalous planet Kordea to take up studies in Witch-lore,
among the race of wise women on that planet, known as the Circle Witches of
Kordea. The Terra Confederation Agent, Coryn Leigh, who helped her to escape
the clutches of the authoritarian enemies of the democratic Terra
Confederation, has also arrived on Kordea, taking on the diplomatic posting of
the Kordean-Terran Liaison Officer. His duties include helping the Witches to
keep Sarah and the cache of ESP-enhancing gems known as amartos, or Witches' Stones,
safe from their enemy’s hands. That adversary, known sometimes as The
Organization, will stop at nothing in their attempts to grab the Stones and an
ESP-capable human, in order to gain the ultimate power with which to take over
the inhabited galaxy.
It is not long before the planet Kordea
comes under attack. The Organization turns their latest weapon upon the planet
and its unusual moon, Lina. That moon is nearly wrested out of its orbit - only
the emergency interventions of Sarah and her colleagues can prevent planet-wide
catastrophe.
It becomes clear that Sarah, Coryn, and
others, including the Witches of Kordea, must undertake a risky project
involving an undercover mission to destroy this threatening super-weapon, in
order to safeguard Kordea and the peace of the galaxy.
At the same time Sarah and Coryn have to deal with their growing attraction to one another. Coryn is in a conflict-of-interest position, since he has taken on a guardianship role toward Sarah, necessitated by his new, diplomatic position. Sarah, on her part, must struggle with self-doubts: about her looks, her worth, even her identity—although not about her ESP abilities, which are considerable. They must struggle with their personal dilemmas, even while trying to counter the enormous threat to the democratic way of life of the humanity of the galaxy.
