About this ebook

Discover a land of enchantment, legend, and adventure in this first book of the Immortals series, featuring an updated cover for longtime fans and fresh converts alike, and including an all-new afterword from Tamora Pierce.

Thirteen-year-old Daine has always had a special connection with animals, but only when she’s forced to leave home does she realize it’s more than a knack—it’s magic. With this wild magic, not only can Daine speak to animals, but she can also make them obey her. Daine takes a job handling horses for the Queen’s Riders, where she meets the master mage Numair and becomes his student.

Under Numair’s guidance, Daine explores the scope of her magic. But she encounters other beings, too, who are not so gentle. These terrifying creatures, called Immortals, have been imprisoned in the Divine Realms for the past four hundred years—but now someone has broken the barrier. And it’s up to Daine and her friends to defend their world from an Immortal attack.

Ratings and reviews

10+ year's. I read this book when I was in middle school. I first came across the second book of this series in the school library and thought it was so interesting from the summary. But I stopped myself because I wanted to read the first one book first. When I was able to fine the first book. I fell in love with everything about this book. I love medieval, magic, animals, swords, knights, Kings and queens, and mythical creatures. And still go back and reread this book every now and then. And I found more books, like Song of the Lioness, and Protector of the small. All of them are soon good. Thank you so much for these wonderful adventures!

It was amazing to read and i keep rereading all of the books in this quartret. Have to say this became my top fave and Harry Potter became 2nd x3 give this series a chance. In fact give all her books a chance. I have read majority of her books and all of them are amazing!

One of the first books I read in middle school. Good for all ages, but it definitely impacted me then by teaching me girls can be strong too.
