Wild Magic

Soon Daine has a job workingfor Onua, the queen's horsemistress, who is astonished at the girl's way with animals. It's almost as if she can speak to them.... Daine and Onua travel to Pirate's Swoop, where Daine finds herself swept into a war that threatens all of Tortall--a war where magic is one of the main weapons. Now Daine must master her own magic--and face her own dark memories--if she is to save her new home from destruction.

Working on their own to discover the reasons for destruction in the valley, Daine and Numair unearth a web of magic as treachery threatens the entire kingdom. Numair must hurry away to warn the king--leaving only Daine, the wolves, and her expanding group of animal allies to hold off disaster until his return. But will Daine's ever stronger Wild Magic be enough to protect her from the dangers of Dunlath Valley?
