Sycorax
By J. B. Aspinall. 1990
A tale of witchcraft and retribution in 14th-century Yorkshire is told through the eyes of a penitent monk. In the…
credulous squalor of medieval Yorkshire, a peasant girl is accused of being a sorceress. The suffering inflicted upon her by male superstition sparks a spectacular and terrifying retort which initiates the legend of Sycorax. Many years later, the story is recounted by Edmund, a flawed monk at Byland Abbey, who sets out to write a history of the witch as a penance for lascivious fantasies. In the process, he uncovers a brutal and eerie tale in which he becomes fatally involved. Not just a trip into another epoch, and more than just another supernatural thriller, this cunning mock-translation of the medieval tale of Sycorax reveals that the compulsions and delusions examined are endemic in us all today.Los cuentos del Roble

his flawless reputation, good sense, and wise decisions. Donner never does anything until he's thought it through properly.

Calder is a Dockalfar--a dark elf. He's wicked, untrustworthy, and armed with lethal magic. At least that's what everyone thinks. It's easy for them to believe the worst and mistrust him before they've even spoken to him, but Calder is out to prove that he's more than his Dockalfar blood, especially to a certain Rein Dear who has caught his eye. But it will take more than sweet words for Donner to admit what's in his heart.Al bivio
