About the book
THE SECRETS OF TORTALL REVEALED Dear Thom, Do you remember the room next to my office? You told me it was a danger of fire with all the crates of old papers I stored in there. I've been cleaning it out--and reading some of what's in those crates. Strange to find so many reminders of how it was in those first days, when King Jonathon [sic] and Queen Thayet were deciding how they should rule and your grandfather Myles, Evin Larse, and I were thrashing out the beginnings of the Shadow Service. I've even found papers from Daine, Numair, and Neal in the lot. Should I save the lessons you boys and your sister wrote, to show your children one day? Your mother and I look forward to seeing you for the Midwinter Festival and hearing about your mage studies. Your loving father, George This description comes from the publisher. Tortall: A Spy's Guide takes place in the world of Tamora Pierce's Tortall, the first of which is Alanna: The First Adventure.
