Product Description:
When Daine is summoned by the wolf pack that saved her life a year earlier, she knows she has to go. She and Numair travel to Dunlath Valley to answer the call. But when they arrive, Daine realizes with a shock that it's not just the animals whose lives are threatened; people are in danger too. Dunlath's rulers have discovered grey opals in their valley and are dead set on mining the magic these stones embody. Daine learns that Dunlath's lord and lady plan to use this power to overthrow King Jonathan -- even if it means irreversibly damaging the land and killing their workers.
On a mission to save both her animal friends and her human ones, Daine has to master her wild magic in order to fight for the kingdom and triumph over the would-be usurpers.

This book is a great read for any aged fan of animals and fantasy adventure, especially if you're female. Even though this is the second book in a series, it can also be a stand alone story. Although these books are meant for young girls, I am a 37-year old mother of four and I just LOVE reading Tamora Pierce's stories. They are so full of strength and action which is encouraging to young ladies. I can't wait to read more!

This book is no disappointment for anyone who likes Tamora Pierce's Tortall books. A great read. Recommended for anyone looking for adventure. This book, of course, is a sequel, and is well worth reading. Tamora Pierce does not disappoint with her intriguing plot, life-like characters, thrilling adventures. Brilliant cover art for this edition. As usual a wonderful installment in her Tortall adventures.

Daine is still Numair's student and as she travels she meets her old friends...they're not humans, they're wolves. A wolf pack that's in danger. Daine answers their call for help and when she reaches the trouble she knows that it's not only the animals in danger but people are in danger too. Dunlath's rulers are discovering grey opals and are trying to get them. They want the power to kill King Jonathon whom is the ruler of Tortall. Daine must stop them...until it's too late.
This book is an exciting sequal to the 'Wild Magic' book and is filled with adventure and magic. I'm sure almost everybody will enjoy this book. Tamora Pierce has created yet another masterpiece and is one of my favorites. I truly wish I could rate this book a 10.

When the humans of Dunlath Valley suddenly begin to cut down the forest trees and dig holes in the valley, the wolf pack know something is afoot. So they send a request to a girl that they know will do something about it. Fourteen-years-old, Diana Sassari is a girl that can communicate with animals using her wild magic. Her father, who she knows nothing about, left her and her mother when she was young. When she was 12 bandits raided her home in Galla killing her mom and grandfather. Left alone Diane took her pony, Cloud, and left hoping to find revenge. The wolves helped her with revenge and have then been on friendly terms. When arriving with her friend mage, Numair, at Dunlath they are immediately alerted of treason. Lady Yolane and Lord Beldon are the center of it along with Masters Tristen and Gisa. When Numair goes back to send a report to the king, Tristen and Gisa put up a magical shield closing off Diane from Numair. Diana learns of a new ability, the ability to inhabit an animal without harming the body. Diane must now use her new ability and gather information on the enemy. She then learns of a new monster far more dangerous then anything shes ever met. A few of the animals that she inhabits are a squirrel, a chipmunk, and a hawk. She uses the squirrel named, "Flicker", to spy on the solider barracks, to count the number of armed men. Flicker was used a great number of times, and also rounded up the other squirrels to chew on enemy provisions. Tkaa is a basilisk that can change things to rock, and plays a key role in giving Diane's messages to Numair, who is stuck on the outside of the barrier. Tkaa also helps rally other immortals to help fight against the lords of Dunlath. The Badger god gives her valuable help as well. When she soon learned the after-affects of shape changing it is Badger who tells her how to change back to human. Badger also teaches her that even Stormwings (half-human immortals that have steel wings) are not evil. This causes Diane to show compassion toward ogers, thus allowing her to gain new and powerful allies. The main setting is in Dunlath, and is another important reason why Diane and Yolane fight over it. Dunlath is a fertile place with animals in abundance. The fertile soil allows the ogers to farm , which gives them a reason to help Diane. The fighting ends when the Kings Own (a branch from the King's army) distracts the other mages on Yolane's side, by wreaking havoc on enemy grounds. Diane manages to slip into the castle undetected, and smashes the model of the barrier, causing the real barrier to break.
