(2) 4-6 Makenna, a hedgewitch, is allied with the goblins against human efforts to exterminate them. In a losing war, young Sir Tobin is wrongly arrested for treason; to redeem his name, Tobin agrees to capture or kill the "sorceress" leading the goblins. Makenna and Tobin meet; wits are matched. The addition of political motivations to a genre dominated by a good/evil dichotomy is a pleasing surprise. A rousing fantasy adventure.
