Wild Magic
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 workingfor 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. Now Daine must master her own magic--and face her own dark
memories--if she is to save her new home from destruction.
Wolf-Speaker
Responding to a call for help from the wolves of Long Lake Pack, Daine
and the wizard Numair travel to Dunlath Valley, where they discover a
catastrophe in the making. But when they try to intervene on the wolves'
behalf, they encounter only derision from the Dunlath court. Working on
their own to discover the reasons for destruction in the valley, Daine
and Numair unearth a web of magic as treachery threatens the entire
kingdom. Numair must hurry away to warn the king--leaving only Daine,
the wolves, and her expanding group of animal allies to hold off
disaster until his return. But will Daine's ever stronger Wild Magic be
enough to protect her from the dangers of Dunlath Valley?
Emperor Mage
Daine is a simple mountain girl, and is not comfortable with the pomp
and glitter of a great court. But when Emperor Ozorne asks that she
accompany Tortall's diplomatic mission to Carthak so she can tend his
ailing birds, it's a request that cannot be refused.Though Daine has the
wizard Numair and the lady knight Alanna to help her, she soon finds
herself trapped in a web of magic and intrigue stranger and more
bewildering than any she has yet faced. For the emperor has overstepped
his bounds, the gods are angry, and the Graveyard Hag herself has chosen
Daine as her tool to change the situation. Saddled with a strange new
power, Daine is already jittery and angry. Then a final, dreadful event
pushes her over the edge, and she erupts in a ferocious display of rage
and magic.
The Realms of the Gods
In the midst of a war, Daine and her mentor, Numair, are yanked into the
Divine Realms, where the riddles of Daine's past are finally solved.
Despite joyous reunions, the pair is desperate to return to their
beloved Tortall, for the kingdom's survival depends on their great
magics. A perilous journey across the Divine Realms leads Daine and
Numair through danger to dragons; to a breathtaking confrontation with
their great enemy, Ozorne; and to heartbreaking battle. At last Daine
faces the Great Gods, who will force her to make the most important
decision of her life.
