WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT FOR - Tortall and Other Lands: A Collection of Tales?
(New!)

TORTALL AND OTHER LAND HC cover artA collection of all of Tammy’s short stories to date, including four new, not-so-short stories written just for this collection. These stories are set in the Tortall Universe:

  • “Student of Ostriches,” the story of the origin of a Shang warrior, takes place some years before ALANNA: THE FIRST ADVENTURE.

  • “Elder Brother” and its spin-off “The Hidden Girl” take place soon after WOLF SPEAKER, following an event in that story.

  • “Nawat” takes place a year after TRICKSTER’S QUEEN and involves Nawat and Aly.

  • “The Dragon’s Tale” takes place a couple of years after TRICKSTER’S QUEEN and involves the young dragon Kitten as well as Daine, Numair, and Numair’s horse Spots.

  • “Lost” takes place at the same time as the events of the royal progress in SQUIRE.

“Mimic” is not set in Tortall at all, and “Time of Proving” is set in a world created by artist David Wyatt for CRICKET Magazine. “Huntress” is set in modern day New York City.

The only non-fantasy story is “Testing,” which Tammy based in part on her time as a housemother in a group home for teenaged girls.
