Synopsis

Thirteen-year-old Daine has always felt a unique bond with animals, but it isn't until she's forced from her home that she unearths the true depth of her wild magic. This isn't merely a talent; it's a profound ability to understand, communicate with, and even command the creatures of the world. Her journey leads her to a job handling horses for the Queen’s Riders, where fate intervenes in the form of the powerful master mage Numair. Recognizing her extraordinary gift, Numair takes Daine under his wing as his student, guiding her through the intricate and sometimes dangerous landscape of her burgeoning powers. As Daine delves deeper into her magic, she discovers that the world holds more than just familiar animals. Terrifying creatures known as Immortals, long imprisoned in the Divine Realms, have inexplicably breached their ancient barrier. Now, with the realm teetering on the brink of an unprecedented invasion, Daine and her new allies must rise to defend their world against an otherworldly threat, thrusting her into a conflict far larger than she could have ever imagined.
