Ordeal In Otherwhere (1964)

by Andre Norton
(#2 in Forerunner)

Charis Nordholm is forced to leave her home planet of Demeter because it has fallen into the hands of an outlaw. She signs up to work for Jagan, an off-world trader who wants to buy cloth from the Wyverns —the powerful, matriarchal witches of the planet Warlock, who govern by dreams. Initially, Charis is fascinated by these dreams, and longs to know more of the secrets of the shimmering, mysterious Wyvern "witches." Then she meets Shann Lantee, a government liaison officer, introduced in Storm Over Warlock, and Charis begins to see the danger of warlock — almost too late.
