The magic is out of control!

On a journey to Gold Ridge, the four young mages-in-training, Daja, Sandry, Tris, and Briar, find their special magics overlapping, sometimes in frightening and destructive ways. One burst of this combined magic leads Daja to create an astonishing vine made of living metal.

Her creation is worth a small fortune. But can Daja bargain with the Traders who cast her out without losing her soul?

Critic reviews

"The fantasy elements of the series as a whole are satisfyingly well imagined, as are the main characters." (School Library Journal)

Full Cast Audio does it again

This is the 3rd of 4 Cirle of Magic Books. You should definately listen to them in order. (The previous two books, Sandry's Book and Tris's Book are both available on Audible.) I loved the books (which I own), yet the audio versions are so good that I haven't read the books since I first listened to them. This one has much more information about the Trader culture and customs, which is very interesting. It also has a good lesson on how refusing to let anyone help you doesn?t make you strong. But mostly, it's just a lot of fun.

wonderful as always

love this author and all of her books never fails to keep me up at night listening.

What a great.

I love this series and recommend it highly. The variety of characters and their different strengths and weaknesses is always such a joy to me; to see a girl whose magic is in standard woman's work- sewing and weaving - and who is also strong and whose magic is incredibly useful and important; to see a girl whose magic is in what is usually considered men's work - smithing - and see her flourish; to see a girl whose magic is the most powerful and dangerous of all; to see a boy whose magic is plants and gardening, and to have his plantmagic teacher, a woman, be even more fearsome than he is - I just adore how the usual tropes are dumped out the window and how the story is more engaging and beautiful for it.

Daja's Book

Excellent series. But do wish they had recorded the first in the series, "Sandry's Book' and would get with the recording of the last in the series, " Briar's Book'.

We have really enjoyed listening to the children's fantastic tales.

Book 3 just as good as the first two.

To see how the mages are viewed in society and learn more of trader customs makes this book uniquely different and exciting.

The story continues

Full Cast productions being stories to life, and this was no exception. We are taken into the lives of our four young mages as they begin using their power more intentionally.

So good, almost as good as reading it myself

I really enjoy TP work. She brings so much world building and different knowledge paths into her writing that have absolutely entranced me since I was young and first opened Alanna. Although her Tortall books are first in my heart, I also cherish the magic and wonderment of her Emelan books. Simple everyday tasks and crafts transformed into magic, not great magic but simple household magic is beautiful! God bless Tamora Pierce.

Wonderful!

Absolutely Loved It! However, I personally found the music and sound effects a little distracting, but everyone has their own opinions. :) Get this book, you won't regret it!

Daja’s book is the best book
