Black Goats (Wine of the Gods Book 3) by Pam Uphoff
This edition has been edited to remove or minimize some parts that have been criticized as offensive as well as not meshing well with the general tone of the rest of the series.
Eight centuries ago the Wizards of Scoone rose in rebellion and overthrew the Tyrant Wizard. But not before he trapped the eight most powerful in a spellweb that chained their magic and changed their bodies into the form of goats. The deposed wizard took his goats with him into exile. And time passed.
Ash is a quiet village in the foothills. The home of three Old Gods, a retired wizard herding sheep with his huge black goats, and the few surviving mages and witches. But two generations later, the young witches and mages are looking outward toward a world that has grown and changed.
And while the Old Gods think of ways to increase the numbers of magically talented people, the old wizard loses control over the black goats. Eight powerful wizards, trapped in the shape of goats for eight hundred years. And they are about to prove that while they may have been fighting a tyrant, they were not themselves good men. And they haven't changed.
