Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Springhair

Daines family has just been killed by raiders, so she sets off to find work in nearby Tortall. There she meet Onua, a Kmir in charge of the horses for the Queens Riders. Daine loves horses, and quickly agrees to help bring the ponies to the capital. On the road they meet strange monsters and come in contact with powerful magicians. Is it possible that the Immortals have escaped the Divine Realms? And what does that mean for the humans? A great beginning for a fantasy quartet, filled with the same great plots, characters, and writing Tamora Pierce is famous for.
