    <![CDATA[To the great joy of her many fans, Tamora Pierce with this book begins a new saga of Tortall to add to The Song of the Lioness Quartet, the Immortals Quartet, and The Protector of the Small tetralogy. At the center of each of these books is always a strong and resourceful young woman who masters the arts of swordplay and knightly warfare in the magical medieval country of Tortall. Alianne, or Aly, daughter of the warrior queen Alanna the Lioness, has all these skills, but also a delicious sense of humor, which serves her well when she is chosen by the trickster god Kyprioth to serve as his secret agent and a slave for a year in the embattled Copper Isles. There the dark-skinned natives, or raka, have been conquered and crushed by the laurin, light-skinned people from the mainland. The burning raka resentment is fueled by prophecies of a twice royal queen who will free them, aided by the &quot;wise one, the cunning one, the strong one, the warrior, and the crows.&quot; Just how each of the colorful characters and Aly herself fit into this prophecy and Kyprioth's tricky plan keeps readers guessing. Aly plots to show her skill at spying as she flirts with the god and is courted by Nawat, a crow transformed into a handsome young man, who is puzzled when she rejects his attempts to mate-feed her with grubs and ants. <p>  The pages of this long but fast-paced adventure zip by, enlivened by intrigue, skirmishes, comedy, romance, and lots of dramatic clothes. (Ages 10 to 14) <em>--Patty Campbell</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Keladry (known as Kel) is the first girl to take advantage of the decree that permits girls to train for the knighthood. The only thing that can stop her is Lord Wyldon, the training master of pages and squires. He does not think girls should be knights and puts her on probation for one year. It is a trial period that no male page has to endure and one that separates the friendly Kel even more from her fellow trainees. But Kel is not someone to underestimate. . . .]]>

    <![CDATA[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 black 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.<p>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.</p>]]>

She doesn't like the Carthaki practice of keeping slaves, but it's not her place to say anything -- she's just there to heal the emperor's birds. It's extremely frustrating! What's more, her power has grown in a mysterious way.<p>As the peace talks stall, Daine puzzles over Carthak's two-faced Emperor Ozorne. How can he be so caring with his birds and so cruel to his people? Daine is sure he's planning something. Daine must fight the powerful Emperor Mage, knowing that the safety and peace of the realm depend on stopping Ozorne's power-hungry schemes.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In Book 3 of Tamora Pierce's <em>Protector of the Small</em>  sequence, 14-year-old Keladry of Mindelan is ready to begin training as a  squire after undergoing four grueling years as the first girl to be  officially educated as a page. Disappointed at first that Lady Alanna  (whom we first met in the Song of the Lioness Quartet series) does not  choose her, Kel is delighted when gruff, good-natured, down-to-earth Lord  Raoul takes her on. The next four years prove to be tough but happy, for  the most part, as Raoul and most of the others in the King's Own (a corps  of 300 men--299 now, plus Kel--that enforces the law and helps local  nobles deal with problems such as centaur attacks and forest robberies)  treat Kel as an equal. Throughout, Kel is physically and mentally  preparing herself for the final test in the Chamber of the Ordeal, in  which fourth-year squires must successfully face their greatest fears  before becoming knights.<p>  In this sequel to <em>First  Test: Protector of the Small</em> and <em>Page: Protector of the  Small</em>, Kel continues to be an admirable role model: stoutly  loyal, strong, independent, honest, yet very real in her fears and  weaknesses. Romance lurks for the budding adolescent as she develops a  crush on one fellow and begins a sweet kissing-only relationship with  another, after a very frank discussion about sex with her mother.  Although the buildup to the Ordeal is watered down a bit by Kel's  periodic visits to the Chamber door for a taste of what's to come,  overall, this latest in Pierce's series is a rousing tale of chivalry and  heroism that any reader will be sorely challenged to put down. (Ages 12  and older) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[As the only female page in history to last beyond the first year of  formal training to become a knight, 11-year-old Keladry of Mindelan has an  uphill battle to fight. In addition to proving herself worthy of being a page,  Kel spends her time defending first-year pages from bullies, staying on top of  homework, conquering her paralyzing fear of heights, and keeping up with Lord  Wyldon's grueling physical training schedule. Kel's detractors do everything in  their power to thwart her progress, from tormenting her friends to sabotaging  the Midwinter Festivities to kidnapping her maid and dog on the day of final  examinations. The tide of resistance begins to turn slightly during the summer  between Kel's second and third years, when she leads a team of pages in  defensive maneuvers against renegade bandits--coincidentally on the same day  that she gets her first period! <p>  Tamora Pierce revisits the imaginary Kingdom of Tortall in this sequel to <em>First Test: Protector of the  Small</em>. Fans of Pierce's exotic fantasy sequences will be hard-pressed to  put either book down. Kel is a valuable role model: she's proud of being a girl,  and she never wavers in her conviction that she can do anything a boy can--and  usually do it better. Some rather bloody battles as well as discussions about  Kel's developing body make this book appropriate for more mature readers. (Ages  10 to 14) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In the final thrilling installment of Tamora Pierce's Protector of the  Small series (<em> First  Test</em>, <em>Page</em>, and  <em>Squire</em>), our sturdy young  heroine, Keladry of Mindelan (a.k.a. Kel), has finally been knighted. Never one  to rest on her laurels, Kel champs at the bit, ready to tackle the horrific  magic killing devices she was shown in the Chamber of the Ordeal during her  knighthood initiation. The huge, insectlike machines, &quot;made of iron-coated  giants' bones, chains, pulleys, dagger-fingers and -toes, and a long whiplike  tail,&quot; feed on the souls of dead children and are systematically killing off the  citizens and warriors of Tortall. <p>  Thoroughly disgusted to discover that not only is she not going to be assigned a  combat post, but she has been placed in charge of a refugee camp instead, Kel,  in her usual noble, stoic way, swallows her disappointment and sets out being  the best refugee camp commander possible. Of course, destiny has a way of  sneaking up on a young woman like Kel, and soon she is fulfilling the ordeal the  Chamber set out for her... and then some.<p>  Tamora Pierce once again draws her legions of fans into her story, blending  humor, pathos, exhilarating battles, and gripping drama with a very real, very  appealing protagonist. It's easy to make war appear black and white, a matter of  good versus evil. Pierce finds the shades of gray. (Ages 12 and older)  <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Sixteen-year-old Beka Cooper lives far removed from knights, palaces, and the nobility. Her world revolves around thieves, beggars, taverns, and the lowest of the low. She's a trainee for the Provost's Guard&#151;a rookie cop, in a world where a cop makes her own name based on her personality, her attitude toward money, and her love of the law.  Beka means to prove that she is out to make her mark in this hard and physical world.<br/><br/>She does face a large obstacle.  She's shy.  Painfully shy.  Left to her own devices, she would have no friends.  It's hard for her to talk to people she doesn't know.  It's a problem for the Guards who train her, a real problem for Beka&#151;unless she can figure out that a uniform is a kind of costume, one she can hide behind.  One that will make her a more outspoken person. It will help a lot if people come to realize that under her shyness is a clever, determined young woman. It will help even more if she can make friends who can give her good advice.  Luckily, she has one such friend living with her in her slum apartment: a purple-eyed black cat named Pounce.  He can make himself understood in human speech if he wishes to.  He's capable of doing weirdly intelligent things to help his young companion Beka.  With Pounce to assist her, Beka cannot have an ordinary career.<br/><br/>       Beka tells her own story in a journal that she keeps from her very first day as a Puppy. The Guards are dubbed &quot;Dogs&quot; in her time and their trainees are called &quot;Puppies.&quot;  In its pages she writes of her days with her training Dogs, the pair who are to teach her what they know of survival on the streets in the city's toughest slum.  Both are veterans.  Tunstall is an easygoing, funny man who can be a little crazy in a fight.  Goodwin is a small, tough woman who is opposed to Beka's presence at the beginning, a hard Dog and a smart one.  They take charge when Beka brings them word of two vicious sets of crimes.  Like everyone else in Beka's life, her partners find out that once Beka gets a case in her teeth, she hangs onto it like a terrier until it's been solved.]]>

    <![CDATA[For years the Empress of Namorn has pressed her young cousin, Lady Sandrilene fa Toren, to visit her vast lands within the Empire's borders. Sandry has avoided the invitation for as long as it was possible. Now Sandry has agreed to pay that overdue visit. Sandry's uncle promises guards to accompany her. But they're hardly a group of warriors! They're her old friends from Winding Circle: Daja, Tris, and Briar. Sandry hardly knows them now. They've grown up and grown apart. Sandry isn't sure they'll ever find their old connection again -- or if she even wants them to.]]>

    <![CDATA[Kethlun Warder was a gifted glassmaker until his world was shattered in a freak accident. Now his remaining glass-magic is mixed with lightning, and Tris must teach him to control it (if she can teach him to control his temper first). But there's more at stake than Keth's education. With his strange magic, he creates glass balls which reflect the immediate past and expose the work of a murderer. If he can harness his power properly, he'll be able to see the crimes as they take place. Keth and Tris race against time and the local authorities to identify a killer who's living in plain sight.]]>

As her  foster siblings Sandry and Briar struggle with their reluctant apprentices  (<em>Magic Steps</em>, <em>Street Magic</em>), Daja and her  teacher, Frostpine, settle into the northern Namorn city of Kugisko for a  restful winter break.

Meanwhile, Kugisko seems to have fallen into the hands of a ruthless  arsonist, and Daja is determined to help her new firefighting friend, Bennat  Ladradun, get to the bottom of the mystery.]]>

    <![CDATA[Beka Cooper is finally a Dog—a full-fledged member of the Provost’s Guard, dedicated to keeping peace in Corus’s streets. But there’s unrest in Tortall’s capital. Counterfeit coins are turning up in shops all over the city, and merchants are raising prices to cover their losses. The Dogs discover that gamblers are bringing the counterfeit money from Port Caynn. In Port Caynn, Beka delves deep into the gambling world, where she meets a charming banking clerk named Dale Rowan. Beka thinks she may be falling for Rowan, but she won’t let anything—or anyone—jeopardize her mission. As she heads north to an abandoned silver mine, it won’t be enough for Beka be her usual “terrier” self. She’ll have to learn from Achoo to sniff out the criminals—to be a Bloodhound. . . .]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<strong>An audiobook first!</strong> <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Tamora Pierce has written the new novel in her popular Circle of Magic universe to go directly to audio--preceding the print version by at least a year.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Residents on one of the islands south of Emelan have sent a call for help to Winding Circle temple: Their plants and trees and the animals that live around them are mysteriously dying. From Winding Circle come two familiar figures: prickly green mage Rosethorn, whose plant magic will help her decipher what's ailing the plant life, and Briar's former student, the stone mage Evvy. With them comes the eager, nervous Dedicate Initiate Myrrhflower and Luvo, a being best described as a walking, intelligent rock. All are pulled into the island's mystery when Evvy is caught up by the wild spirits loose in an immense bubble of molten rock. Can they evacuate the island in time--or will they try to shift a volcano?&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Charles de Lint. Alan Dean Foster. Diana Wynne Jones. Kelly Link.  Patricia A. McKillip. Tamora Pierce. These are just a few of the  acclaimed and bestselling authors who have contributed original  stories to Firebirds Rising, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the  award-winning anthology Firebirds.<p>  This collection takes readers from deep space to Faerie to just  around the corner. It is full of magic, humor, adventure, and—best  of all—the unexpected. The one thing readers can count on is marvelous  writing. Firebirds Rising proves once again that Firebird is  more than an imprint—it is a gathering place for writers and readers  of speculative fiction from teenage to adult, from the United  States to Europe, Asia, and beyond.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Sixteen is a rebellious age for most young people, and Aly is no exception. With her mother, the lady knight Alanna, forever being summoned to some crisis or other, and the young men of Tortall little more than diversions, Aly is bored and restless. Her father is second-in-command of the country's spies- of only he would let her be one! The former king of thieves, he had trained her in the arts of espionage and knows that she is capable of taking care of herself. But he won't risk losing his only daughter to the dangers of the field, so she spends her time helping him decode messages and dyeing her hair blue.<br/><br/>But everything changes when Aly, sailing alone down the coast of Tortall, is captured by pirates and winds up a slave to the Balitangs, a kindly noble family of the Copper Isles. Years of lessons in the Isles' history have prepared her for their dual cultures- those of luarin, or white, conquerors and those of the brown-skinned, or raka, natives. Fueled by prophecies of a twice-royal queen who will free them, the rakas' resentment keeps the realm in constant turmoil. But Aly is no weeping captive; she's determined to free herself.<br/><br/>Enter Kyprioth, patron god of the Isles, also known as Trickster, who is looking to shift the balance of power back to his raka worshipers. Aly makes a deal with the god: she will use her own trickster gifts to keep the Balitang children, especially the two teenage girls, safe through the summer. In exchange, Kyprioth will give her magical assistance in the form of spying crows and knowledge of events at court- and eventually, her freedom. But deals with gods are never simple matters; she doesn't count on becoming personally involved in the raka revolt, or with an unusual young man who has his own plans for Aly. ...]]>

    <![CDATA[Roaring out of the pages of Daredevil, the new White Tiger makes a ferocious debut, courtesy of the dynamic scripting of New York Times best-selling fantasy author Tamora Pierce (Trickster's Queen, The Will of the Empress) and masterful penciling of rising star Phil Briones (La Geste des Chevaliers-Dragons, Les Seigneurs d'Agartha). Angela del Toro knows pain: Her uncle - Hector Ayala, the former White Tiger - killed. Her FBI partner, murdered. Her career, ruined. Her mentor, Matt Murdock, jailed. And the hurt is just beginning. The Yakuza's bloodthirsty Sano Orii returns, a genocidal shadow organization appears, and a new-but-old super-powered madman is looking to put the squeeze on White Tiger. Armed with mystical amulets - and finally in costume - White Tiger demands answers! But will she survive long enough to ask the right questions? Collects White Tiger #1-6.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Never before published stories by <em>New York Times</em> bestselling authors Jonathan Stroud, Gregory Maguire, Garth Nix, Diana Gabaldon, and others.</strong><br/><br/> Whether portrayed as fire-breathing reptilian beasts at war with humanity or as noble creatures capable of speech and mystically bonded to the warriors who ride them, dragons have been found in nearly every culture's mythology. In modern times, they can be found far from their medieval settings in locales as mundane as suburbia or as barren as post-apocalyptic landscapes-and in <em>The Dragon Book</em>, today's greatest fantasists reignite the fire with legendary tales that will consume readers' imaginations. <br/><br/> With original stories by <em>New York Times</em> bestselling authors Jonathan Stroud, Gregory Maguire, Garth Nix, Diana Gabaldon, Tamora Pierce, Harry Turtledove, Sean Williams, and Tad Williams as well as tales by Naomi Novik, Peter Beagle, Jane Yolen, Adam Stemple, Cecelia Holland, Kage Baker, Samuel Sykes, Diana Wynne Jones, Mary Rosenblum, Tanith Lee, Andy Duncan, and Bruce Coville.  <br/><br/>]]>
