Editorial reviews

In this fantasy we meet another strong, young female character with special powers. Daine is gifted in many ways - she's an excellent archer - but her special talent lies in her ability with animals, who seem to listen to her words. Daine earns a job working for Onua, the queen's horse mistress, who is impressed by the girl's powers. Tamora Pierce leads in narrating this exciting tale, which is lovingly detailed and populated by a cast of almost thirty people (including the writer's husband). Once listeners get used to the story switching from the narrator's voice to those of the actors, they will be pleased at its fanciful magic.

Publisher's Summary

When Daine comes down from the mountains, she carries with her two things: a dark secret about her own past, and a strangely powerful magic that even she doesn't understand.

Soon Daine has a job working for Onua, the queen's horsemistress, who is astonished at the girl's way with animals. It's almost as if she can speak to them....

Daine and Onua travel to Pirate's Swoop, where Daine finds herself swept into a war that threatens all of Tortall, a war where magic is one of the main weapons.

The wall between the worlds is cracking.

The magical creatures are returning.

Now Daine must master her own magic, and face her own dark memories, if she is to save her new home from destruction.

Back to my childhood

Wild magic and the three books to follow were always my favourites when I was a teenager. Have read them over and over through the years and decided to try having Tamora read them to me for something different. Just wonderful, thank you!
Highly recommend these stories for all ages.

Amazing except for the slow narration

The slow narration is only a problem because the rest of the dialogue is normal speed so it’s not possible to just listen on 1.2 speed. Otherwise flawless.

Nostalgic listen

I read Tamora Pearce books as a young teenager and this series was always my favourite. It was definitely a fun and nostalgic listen and sort of nice to have the books read to me. I thought the voice cast was great- my only gripe is that it was over too soon. Onto book 2….

Always magic

This story has remained a favourite from my very early reading days. The performance within this audio book gave me goosebumps and brought the world to life! The characters are just as I imagined them and I was transported back to Tortall with my childhood friends. I cannot rate this audio book highly enough. This story is one that will stay with you forever and have you reading all of Tamora Pierce's books for never wanting to leave the magical worlds she creates. Thank you for such an amazing story.

A favourite since I was a kid

Tamora Pierce is one of my all time favourite authors because of her interesting fleshed out characters and her fantasy story lines. The full cast is incredible and adds so many layers to a story I have read over and over
