Daughter of the Lioness #Part 1 of book 1
Slyngelgudens valg
I drømmen sad Alianne på en tyk gren i et stort træ.
Vinden suste i trækronen over hende, og duften af æbleblomster kom drivende fra et sted i nærheden.
Hun var omgivet af krager der hoppede fra gren til gren.
Kragerne begyndte at nappe i hendes tøj og hår.
Det virkede som en form for undersøgelse.
En ny krage slog sig ned på grenen over for hende.
I modsætning til de andre havde den glimtende ringe på hver klo og en kæde af funklende ædelsten om halsen.
„God dag, Kyprioth,“ sagde Alianne. „Jeg går ud fra at hele denne forestilling er dit påfund?“
Selvfølgelig, svarede den juvelsmykkede krage.
Du bad om hjælp, min ven. Disse krager har lovet at lære dig deres sprog, så de kan spionere for dig.
Alannas datter, Alianne, bliver taget til fange og solgt som slave på Kobberøerne, der regeres af den sindssyge kong Oron.
Men Alianne får hjælp af Slyngelguden Kyprioth ...

About the author
Tamora Pierce
100 books85.2k followersHey, folks! I just discovered that apparently I have given some very popular books single-star ratings--except I haven't. How do I know I haven't? Because I haven't read those books at all. So before you go getting all hacked off at me for trashing your favorites, know that I've written GoodReads to find out what's going on.
I return to my regularly scheduled profile:
Though I would love to join groups, I'm going to turn them all down. I just don't have the time to take part, so please don't be offended if I don't join your group or accept an invitation. I'm not snooty--I'm just up to my eyeballs in work and appearances!
Also, don't be alarmed by the number of books I've read. When I get bored, I go through the different lists and rediscover books I've read in the past. It's a very evil way to use up time when I should be doing other things. Obviously, I've read a lot of books in 54 years!
I was born in South Connellsville, PA. My mother wanted to name me "Tamara" but the nurse who filled out my birth certificate misspelled it as "Tamora". When I was 8 my family moved to California, where we lived for 6 years on both sides of the San Francisco peninsula.
I started writing stories in 6th grade. My interest in fantasy and science fiction began when I was introduced to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J. R. R. Tolkien and so I started to write the kind of books that I was reading. After my parents divorced, my mother took my sisters and me back to Pennsylvania in 1969. There I went to Albert Gallatin Senior High for 2 years and Uniontown Area Senior High School for my senior year.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, I wrote the book that became The Song of the Lioness fantasy quartet. I sold some articles and 2 short stories and wrote reviews for a martial arts movie magazine. At last the first book of the quartet, Alanna: The First Adventure was published by Atheneum Books in 1983.
Tim Liebe, who became my Spouse-Creature, and I lived in New York City with assorted cats and two parakeets from 1982 - 2006. In 2006 we moved to Syracuse, New York, where we live now with assorted cats, a number of squirrels, birds, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and woodchucks visiting our very small yard. As of 2011, I have 27 novels in print, one short story collection, one comic book arc ("White Tiger: A Hero's Compulsion") co-written with Tim, and a short story anthology co-editing credit. There's more to come, including a companion book to the Tortall `verse. So stay tuned!
