Wild Magic
Thirteen-year-old Daine has always had a knack with animals, but it's not until she's forced to leave home that she realizes it's more than a knack – it's magic. With this wild magic, not only can Daine speak to animals, but also she can make them obey her. Daine takes a job handling horses for the Queen's Riders, where she meets the master mage Numair and becomes his student.
Under Numair's guidance, Daine explores the scope of her magic. But she begins to sense other beings too: immortals. These bloodthirsty monsters have been imprisoned in the Divine Realms for the past four hundred years, but now someone has broken the barrier. It's up to Daine and her friends to defend their world from an immortal attack.

Tamora Pierce
Tamora Pierce didn’t just open a door to fantasy for young readers—she forged a path, torch in hand, into realms where girls wield swords, speak with gods, and refuse to be silenced. Long before strong female protagonists became a trend, Pierce was crafting heroines who were bold, complex, and unapologetically themselves. Her stories didn’t just break molds; they reimagined what fantasy could be for generations of readers hungry for more than damsels and dragons.
Born in South Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and raised between the rolling hills of rural America and the buzz of city life, Pierce’s childhood was steeped in books and imagination. Her early fascination with mythology and medieval lore took root in her storytelling, where rich world-building and elemental magic breathe life into each saga. It was while working at a library and later studying at the University of Pennsylvania that she began shaping what would become the iconic Song of the Lioness quartet—a series that introduced the world to Alanna of Trebond, a girl who disguises herself as a boy to train as a knight.
