List of works
Tortall universe
The Tortall universe is a fictional setting shared by five book series: Song of the Lioness; Immortals, or Wild Magic; Protector of the Small; Daughter of the Lioness, or Tricksters; and Beka Cooper as well as multiple short stories.Setting
The Tortall series is named for the country in which the majority of the works are set, Tortall. The capital of Tortall is Corus, located near the western coast on the Emerald Ocean.
To the north is Scanra, a wild and somewhat barbaric country. Tortall and Scanra are at war in the last two Protector books and the first Trickster book, Trickster's Choice. To the east are Galla, Tusaine, and Tyra, and past them are Maren and Sarain. Carthak is south of Tortall across the Inland Sea, while to the west lie the Yamani Islands and the Copper Isles. To the east of Maren and Sarain is The Roof of the World, a large mountain range. The Trickster books mostly take place in the Copper Isles, further south than the Yamani islands.
The Hunt Records take place hundreds of years before the other books, and Barzun, a nation between Tortall and the Inland Sea later is occasional mentioned. Barzun was later conquered by Tortall.
Tortall is a place somewhat reminiscent of the European Middle Ages, with its monarchy, court, nobility, and knights, but is otherwise a completely different world. Magic is very real and practical to Tortallans, from the common hedgewitch to the King's court mages. Deities are revered and often play a part in human lives, sometimes choosing humans as champions, sometimes using them to further their own purposes. Though these deities are shown as powerful beyond belief, they rely on their human instruments to shape the world.
''The Song of the Lioness''
The Song of The Lioness was originally written as one single book for adults, but her literary agent suggested that she rewrite it into four books aimed at a young adult audience. Pierce literally cut up the manuscript and used the pieces to form four new books for teenagers. She has received numerous requests to publish the original manuscript, but claims it no longer exists, and wouldn't be worth publishing anyway.Plot
Alanna of Trebond is a ground-breaking female knight. Although noble-born girls traditionally go to the convent to learn how to be proper noblewomen and wives, Alanna desires to become a knight, a position only given to noble-born boys. In order to achieve her dream, Alanna disguises herself as a boy under the name of Alan and goes to the palace in place of her twin brother Thom. As Thom has no interest in becoming a knight, and is far more interested in his magic, Thom forges a letter so that he can go to a temple to become an enormously strong and skilled sorcerer.
The series follows Alanna's training and the early years of her full knighthood, a time-span of ten years. Alanna has quite a few strong romantic relationships throughout the series, including Prince Jonathan, George Cooper, and Liam Ironarm, the Shang Dragon.
- – Alanna, a young noble girl, disguises herself as a boy with the help of her twin brother, Thom, in order to realize her dream of becoming a knight as Thom goes to a temple to become a mage. She makes powerful friends, including the crown prince and the Rogue, along with tremendously powerful and dangerous enemies.
- In the Hand of the Goddess – Finding life as a knight-in-training more difficult than she imagined but still in her disguise, Alanna serves as a squire to Prince Jonathan of Conté, fights in a war alongside her knight master and struggles with the attention of the evil Duke Roger of Conté all the while struggling to find her identity as a woman, in tandem with her dreams of becoming a knight.
- The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, Alternate title: The Girl Who Rides Like a Man – After rightfully gaining her knight's shield, "Sir Alanna" travels south, meeting up with a Bazhir tribe. She learns to reconcile with her magic, a part of her she formerly despised, and becomes a shaman. Jonathan also becomes "The Voice," an honored Bazhir figure who is able to speak to every one who has performed the traditional Bazhir rituals. By doing this, he reconciles the Bazhir, who have long resented the Conté rule, to the capital city of Corus. Jonathan and Alanna also fight, and break up. Alanna soon finds another relationship with George, the Rogue, but continues to struggle with her romantic feelings for Jonathan, who has gone on to court a "proper woman," a princess of the Copper Isles.
- Lioness Rampant – Alanna travels to the "Roof of the World" in search of the mystically powerful Dominion Jewel in order to prove her worth as the first female knight in centuries. The Dominion Jewel is a legendary magical artifact rumored to unite any ruler who holds it with the land that he or she rules. During this journey she meets Princess Thayet, her bodyguard Buri, and the Shang Dragon, whom she develops a strong romantic relationship with, despite his open fear of magic. She later returns to Tortall to face an old nemesis, who threatens the entire kingdom.
- The omnibus edition of this quartet is Song of the Lioness, published in 2002 by Science Fiction Book Club.
''The Immortals''
- Wild Magic – Daine, a 13-year-old girl, finds out that her knack with wild animals is in fact a rare and powerful form of magic. Under the guidance of Numair Salmalín, she learns to control her magic, which proves very important for herself and her companions. This first novel in the quartet also reunites us briefly with the protagonist of the Song of the Lioness quartet, Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau, formerly Alanna of Trebond.
- Wolf-Speaker – Daine travels with Numair to meet a pack of wolves that she knew from her home village. The wolves show her that the valley containing their home range is being devastated, and this is eventually connected with a treasonous conspiracy against her adopted king and country.
- Emperor Mage – Daine joins a delegation of Tortallan diplomats sent to Carthak, where she finally meets the Emperor Ozorne, who had previously attempted to execute her teacher Numair. Daine is caught up in a strange battle involving displeased gods and strange magics.
- The Realms of the Gods – Caught in a mysterious attack, Daine and Numair are snatched into the Divine Realms and struggle to make their way back to Tortall, where war is raging again. While in the Divine Realms, Daine discovers Numair's true feelings for her and works out her own. This book takes place in both the Divine and mortal realms.
- The Omnibus Edition is The Immortals.
''Protector of the Small''
- First Test – Keladry of Mindelan, the first openly female page, faces giant spidrens, hazing, bullying and the mistrust of her superiors in her first probationary year as a page.
- Page – Kel, to the surprise of many, is allowed to complete her page's training. In this second book of the series Kel faces dangers that will change the way pages are taught.
- Squire – In the second half of her training, Kel has a new master, Raoul of Goldenlake, who gives her new duties, and teaches her new skills. Alongside her own study, Kel becomes increasingly involved with the war that brews on Tortall's northern border, and her fellow squire, Cleon of Kennan.
- Lady Knight – Though she is now a knight, Kel is still inexperienced. She struggles with her sense of duty when her commanders assign her to manage a refugee camp instead of to the front lines. She struggles to find a balance between her duties and completing a quest assigned by The Chamber during her knighthood ordeal. 7th place for the 2003 Locus Best Young Adult Novel

''Tricksters''
The duology is the story of Alianne of Pirate's Swoop, the 16-year-old daughter of the legendary Alanna the Lioness. Prevented from working as a Tortallan spy by her parents, Aly leaves home only to be captured by pirates and sold into slavery in the Copper Isles. Under the guidance of Kyprioth, the god of tricksters, Aly involves herself with a conspiracy of the native raka people against their luarin conquerors, in accordance with a prophecy made by Kyprioth himself through one of his priestesses, centuries earlier. The duology covers a timespan of two years. Aly is a much different person from her mother, closer to her father.
- Trickster's Choice – When Aly is taken by pirates, she is sold as a slave in the Copper Isles and makes a bet with the god Kyprioth, to protect the children of the Balitang family from unknown dangers. She soon learns that two of the daughters, Saraiyu Balitang and Dovasary Balitang, are linked to prophecy predicting that one of them will become a queen capable of uniting the luarin conquerors with the oppressed raka. She learns to speak to crows, and makes a wonderfully close and dear friend, Nawat Crow, a crow-turned-man. 7th place for the 2004 Locus Best Young Adult Book.
- Trickster's Queen – Returning to the capital city Rajmuat after the Balitang's short exile, the raka conspirators in the Balitang household prepares to overthrow the century long Rittevon ruled throne and replace the vicious monarchs with a half raka, half luarin queen.

- The Omnibus edition is Tricksters
''Beka Cooper: The Hunt Records''
George Cooper is a young boy in the series prologue, and is caught stealing. His ashamed mother then tells him about his famous ancestress, named Rebakah Cooper. "Beka" Cooper is a trainee for the Provost's Guard, which is Tortall's equivalent of a police force. In those days, they were called "Dogs" and trainees were known as "Puppies," both of whom were stationed at "Kennels".
- Terrier, the first book in the series, was released on October 24, 2006. Terrier covers Beka's first months as a Puppy. All of Pierce's previous books were written in the third person, but this series is told from a diary-style first person perspective. Beka's entries detail how hard she works to try to make her home, the Lower City of Corus, safer. Beka's roots in the Lower City give her both a keen insight and a sense of empathy for the people she is there to protect. Beka is referred to as a "Terrier" for her youth and dogged determination despite her size.
- Bloodhound, the second book in this trilogy, was released on April 14, 2009. Here, we follow Beka to Port Caynn, where a secretive ring of cole-mongers threatens to destroy the country.
- Mastiff, formerly titled Elkhound, is the third and final book in the trilogy. It was released October 25, 2011. An excerpt from Mastiff is included in Tortall and Other Lands: A Collection of Tales.

Circle universe
SettingThe Circle of Magic quartet is set in the land of Emelan; the Circle Opens quartet and the Circle Reforged quartet are set in Emelan and various neighbouring countries.
Neighboring countries include Sotat, Qalai, Lairan, Gansar, and Anderann. Other countries in the Circle universe include Chammur, Thairos, Namorn, Gyongxe, Yanjing Capchen, the Battle Islands, Hatar Island in the Pebbled Sea, Olart, and Mbau.
In the Circle universe, magic is common and regularly used, but individuals need to be born with the ability to use it. There are two forms of magic. Academic magic is directly linked to the energy within the user and may require incantations or physical catalysts. Ambient magic is less common, is associated with a certain craft or item of nature, and involves power from the surroundings flowing through the user. Most cultures in the Circle universe are polytheistic, but unlike the Tortall universe, gods less frequently try to affect mortal events.
''Circle of Magic''
PlotThe series tells the stories of four 10-year-old children: Sandrilene fa Toren, Trisana Chandler, Daja Kisubo and Briar Moss, known as Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar, respectively. They are discovered in various troubled circumstances and brought together by Niklaren Goldeye, a powerful mage, who tells them that they are "ambient mages," which means that they use magic derived from the environment. The four youths do not fit in with the other children of the monastic Winding Circle community to which Niko brings them and are put together in a separate cottage, called Discipline. Here they each learn of their hidden talents: Sandry with thread, Tris with weather, Daja with fire and metal, and Briar with plants. Lark, a gentle woman especially attentive to Sandry since she also has thread magic, and Rosethorn, a sharp woman who shares Briar's ability with plants, live with and instruct the children in their magical and personal growth. Also teaching and guiding them is Niko, technically Tris's teacher, but available to all four. Daja is taught by Dedicate Initiate Frostpine, a smith mage. At first it seems that a merchant, a street rat, a noblewoman, and a Trader will never get along, but an extraordinary circumstance brings them together. Through an earthquake, they realize their full potential and are bound closely together forever. As children skilled in uncommon magics, they struggle to earn the respect of the adults they encounter and to fully understand and control their magical powers.
