Alanna by Tamora Pierce5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This series follows Daine, a young orphan who has always had a way with animals that made people believe she was a bit funny, until a young mage named Numair recognizes that her abilities are a rare form of wild magic and that she can communicate with all creatures. I recommend starting with the Song of the Lioness Quartet: When beginning your journey, you have two series to choose between as your entry point: The Legend of Beka Cooper, or the Song of the Lioness Quartet. But never fear! As someone who is a believer of the religion of Tortall and is the first acolyte of the Lady Knight, I am more than happy to offer some direction. And that’s where things can get confusing-with so many different books and series, it’s hard to know where to start. Since the publication of the Song of the Lioness Quartet, Pierce has written nearly twenty novels set in her Tortall universe. It’s set in Tortall, a kingdom populated with lords and ladies, knights and sorcerers, and where few people are lucky enough to possess magical Gifts. That book was Alanna: The First Adventure, and despite the hokey title, it changed my life.Īlanna: The First Adventure is the first in the Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce, a fierce, feminist fantasy series published in 1983. I was eleven when I picked up a book with a redhead and a horse on the cover, thinking it looked sorta cool. ![]()
