This first volume of the Immortals Quartet tells the adventures of Daine, a young girl who is on the edge of discovering her own magic, and her strange connection to the animal world. This brilliant fantasy will sweep listeners into the richly imagined world of Tortall.
Note: Listeners can’t get enough of Tamora Pierce, and neither can we! We will be releasing the entire Immortals Quartet at approximately six month intervals.
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. J.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
