From back:

Such an enchanting wife...

The faculty memebers of solid old Hampnell College - make - think that they are well in control of their own fates. Their wives know better. The entire structure of hempnell rests on the ancient and potent magiks that all women know, and all men deny.

Tansy Saylor has done well by her Norman-so far. But now he has discovered her occult machinations, and demanded that she give up such childish nonsense. How is he to know that he has opened the door to a power so ancient, so malevolent, that all of Tansey's might has been required to blind it - and all the might in the world may not be enough to bar the door again.
