Diane ~Firefly~ I believe I read the book in the 80s. Girl is servant to evil witch. Powerful wizard is in love with girl and does little things to help her out, but promised witch's former mentor he wouldn't hurt her. I think he might have invaded girl's dreams to help her realize her power. I'm pretty sure the cover was black. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure it was young adult.

Hilary (renfrew) | 48 comments Does the witch live in a crystal cave?


Diane ~Firefly~ I don't think so. I thought it was on top of a mountain, but I could be wrong.

Diane ~Firefly~ I still have no clues on this book, if anyone has an idea, I would appreciate the help. I do remember some merchant coming to barter with the witch and the witch had killed her former mentor before the story started.

Cheryl (cherylllr) Hm, it does sound like a memorable book - I hope someone who knows it sees your bump!


Diane ~Firefly~ Thanks, me too.

Diane ~Firefly~ I don't recall them turning into birds, but it's been so long that it is certainly possible.

Julia (varbalow) | 4 comments This doesn't have all of the elements, but I thought I'd mention "The Crystal Palace" by Phyllis Eisenstein.

Diane ~Firefly~ Thanks, but that isn't it.


Kagama-the Literaturevixen | 599 comments Could it possibly be The Apprentice?


Diane ~Firefly~ I think that might actually be it! I am in awe that you found it. Thank you so much. Now I just need to get a copy :)
