In the first book, the witches of Todcaster hold a spell contest to see who will marry Arriman the Awful, Wizard of the North. In the second, Odge Gribble, a young hag, accompanies an old wizard, a gentle fey, and a giant ogre on their mission through a magical tunnel from their island to London to rescue their King and Queen's son, who had been stolen as an infant.
