Enchantress from the Stars - Softcover
Elana, a member of an interstellar civilization on a mission to a medieval planet, becomes the key to a dangerous plan to turn back an invasion.

He sees Elana as the Enchantress from the Stars who has come to test him, to prove he is worthy. One of the few science fiction books to win a Newbery Honor, this novel will enthrall teenage and adult readers.

From the Author:
Be sure to read the FAQ page for this book at my website, where you'll also find my recent essay for adult readers, "Reflections on Enchantress from the Stars." These contain comments on things in the story that have been confusing to some readers. And please note that although there is a second book about Elana, The Far Side of Evil, it is not a "sequel" but a very different kind of story that's not appropriate for readers below high school age.
