Tamora Pierce is one of the most influential YA fantasy authors, with 54 books published since her debut Alanna: The First Adventure in 1983. Her work is primarily divided between two universes: the medieval-inspired kingdom of Tortall and the Circle of Magic world. The Tortall books span multiple generations through the Song of the Lioness (4 books), The Immortals (4 books), Protector of the Small (4 books), Daughter of the Lioness (2 books), and Beka Cooper (3 books) series.
The Circle of Magic universe includes the original Circle of Magic quartet (1997-1999), The Circle Opens (2000-2003), and The Circle Reforged (2005-2013). Pierce has also written graphic novel adaptations of her work, contributed to several YA fantasy anthologies, and published companion guides like Tortall: A Spy Guide (2017). The Numair Chronicles, beginning with Tempests and Slaughter (2018), is her most recent Tortall series.
