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.

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.

Tamora pierce biography

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 was originally written as one single book for adults, but Pierce's literary agent suggested that she rewrite it into four books aimed at a young adult audience. Also called Daughter of the Lioness from the Song of the Lioness four-book series.

This duology is the same length as the earlier quartets, because the books are about twice the length of the earlier works.
