"What's It All About?" For Tortall Universe: Song of the Lioness quartet The Immortals quartet Protector of the Small quartet Tricksters duo Beka Cooper series CIRCLE Universe: The Circle of Magic quartet The Circle Opens quartet THE WILL OF THE EMPRESS novel MELTING STONES original audiobook and novel Anthologies, Short Stories, Collections and Articles: Young Warriors: Stories of Strength anthology, edited by Tamora Pierce & Josepha Sherman Tortall and Other Lands: A Collection of Tales (short story collection) |
Set in a different universe from the Lioness and Immortals
books, this quartet centers around four unusual young mages. Sandry, a noble
whose parents died recently, has power with thread, from spinning and weaving to
simple knot-tying. Daja, a Trader, is the only survivor of a shipwreck in which
her family drowned. Declared to be bad luck and banned from life with other
Traders, she is free to learn to work metals and, through metal, to work magic.
Tris, the merchant's daughter, is no orphan, but her family doesn't want her.
Briar is a street rat, a thief and convict. Only at the temple city of Winding
Circle does he learn that his strange love of growing things is more than a need
to garden. Brought together in a house inside the temple city's walls, watched
over by the mages Lark, Rosethorn, Frostpine and Niko, the four struggle to be
friends, to exercise their magic, and to survive. Each book centers on one of
the four, but make no mistake: they are bound tightly together, and the events
that affect each of them also strengthen their connections to one another.
