About this listen

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.

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.

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….

love it

the problem with books is I have an idea of how people should sound already. sometimes it's hard to believe that voice is that character.
the narration could have been a little smoother.

Wrong age group

Story would have been appreciated by a younger audience.
Daine not knowing how her magic worked, left the author a broad avenue for inventiveness and just adding more and more types of magic.

Fantasy for all ages.

Yet another enjoyable story from Tamora Pierce and the Full Cast Audio crew. I have been a fan of Tamora Pierce's written works for a good 20 or so years now - every so often, I will go back and re-read one of her series of books. The plots are well thought out, the characters memorable and the pacing steady enough that one will not get bored.

A pleasure for young adults and older adults both

I love Tamora Pierce! Her world building and story-telling is second to few. Even though it's YA, her characters and plot stand up to scrutiny 20+ years later; I first read her magical world @ 11. Recommend highly to any fantasy lover.
