The Immortals Quartet
The second quartet set in the magical fantasy kingdom of Tortall which resembles Medieval Europe. I would recommend it to anyone age 11 and up who likes fantasy, thrills, adventure and a bit of romance. The books were original published in the early 1990s and are now available in Mass Market Paperback from Random House and hardcover from Atheneum.

1. Wild Magic
Daine is a 12 year old girl who has an amazing gift of Wild Magic which allows her to talk to animals. She is also the only one in Tortall who has the power to stop the invasions of The Immortals (evil creatures which are escaping from their prisons made centuries ago). Daine travels with the Queens' Riders and learns more about her interesting magic. This is my favourite Immortals book, because it is nice to meet members of Alanna and George's family at the beginning. |

2. Wolf Speaker
Daine is now 14, when an urgent message arrives to her form the wolves of the Dunlath Valley, whom she lived with after her home was destroyed. Humans are destroying the valley, so Daine, Numair, Cloud and Daine's new dragon companion, Kitten travel there to help out. They discover that something is amiss in the valley, and after several close encounters with some lesser Immortals, they know whatever it is, means danger to them and the wolf pack. But what it is? Only Daine can find out. |

3. Emperor Mage
Daine and Kitten travel to Carthak as part of a peace party form Tortall. She gains a new companion (Zek, a cute little monkey) but also realizes there's trouble brewing in Carthak and Emperor Ozorne is at the center of it. Last but certainly not leats, Daine realizes her wild magic is giving her more strange and wonderful powers! This book is a good addition to the series because you get to explore a country outside of Tortall, and Carthak resembles Egypt. It is interesting to compare the real life countries, and the lands Tammy has created. |

4. The Realms Of The Gods
Emperor Ozorne is back as a Stormwing and he's wreaking havoc in Tortall once again. At the same time Uuosae, Queen of Chaos is making a mess in the Divine Realsm too! Daine and Numair travel to the realms of the gods accidentally. There they meet Daine's mother, father and many more immortal friends. Getting home won't be as easy as getting there, though. It will be a perilous journey to get back to the mortal realms, and once they get back, they've got some new enemies to contend with. |
