From the Publisher Young Daine’s knack with horses gets her a job helping the royal horsemistress drive a herd of ponies to Tortall. Soon it becomes clear that Daine’s talent, as much as she struggles to hide it, is downright magical Horses and other animals not only obey, but listen to her words. Daine, though, will have to learn to trust humans before she can come to terms with her powers, her past, and herself . About the Author In the sixth grade, Tamora Pierce was encouraged by her father to start writing and she immediately got hooked. Once she discovered fantasy and science fiction, she tried to write the same kind of stories she read, only with teenaged girl heroines who were usually missing from the 1960s stories. Before her junior year at the University of Pennsylvania where she studied psychology, Pierce rediscovered writing when she wrote her first original short story since tenth grade. She sold her first story a year later and then enrolled in a fiction writing course during her senior year. When her teacher suggested that she tackle a novel, her childhood ideas came back to her and she began her first sword and sorcery novel. Pierce then worked as a housemother in an Idaho group home for teenaged girls, who loved hearing Alanna’s story from the in-progress quartet, Song of the Lioness. As Pierce continued to write and send out manuscripts, she moved to Manhattan to get her publishing career off the ground. Pierce still lives in Manhattan with her husband, writer/filmmaker Tim, and their three cats, two parakeets, plus a floating population of rescued wildlife. She enjoys her hectic life as a full-time writer and she hopes that her books leave her readers with the feeling that they can achieve anything if they want it badly enough. Tamora Pierce is a popular author of fantasy books for teenagers. In her latest quartet, Protector of the Small, readers follow heroine Kel as she rigorously trains for the knighthood.

A fascinating book Reviewer: Alison Bird from Rocky Harbour Newfoundland Date: 3/14/2001 6:50:26 PM This novel by Tamora Pierced was truly captivating. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. Daine seems like a real person who thinks and feels just like any teenage girl. Wild magic gave me what other books lacked: a real female heroine. Finally I have found a female character that I can relate and can be proud of. The use of description is wonderful and when reading, you feel like you are part of the adventure. 3. Wild Magic, Magical Reviewer: Lauren from St. John's, NF Date: 3/12/2001 3:43:07 PM I found the book "Wild Magic" Excellent. Tamora Peirce is very imaginative, and the characters are believable. The element where the girl can speak to animals pull the book together. If i had to pick a favorite book right now, this would be it. I can't wait until I read the next. 4. Pure Magic!
