With this wild magic, not only can Daine speak to animals, but she can also make them obey her. Daine takes a job handling horses for the Queen's Riders, where she meets the master mage Numair and becomes his student. <p/>Under Numair's guidance, Daine explores the scope of her magic. But she encounters other beings, too, who are not so gentle. These terrifying creatures, called Immortals, have been imprisoned in the Divine Realms for the past four hundred years--but now someone has broken the barrier. And it's up to Daine and her friends to defend their world from an Immortal attack.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Tamora Pierce<br><b>Publisher:</b> Atheneum Books for Young Readers<br><b>Published:</b> 09/29/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 368<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.64lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781481440226<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-15<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.9<br><b>Point Value:</b> 9<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>18847 / Wild Magic<br>
