She went on to write five more series of three and four books each, the most recent of which, Tempests and Slaughter, landed on shelves in 2018. Pierce wasn't done with Tortall after that, however. The story of a young girl who disguises herself as a boy in order to become a knight, Alanna kicked off the Song of the Lioness, a four-book series that was completed with Lioness Rampant in 1988. The first peek readers got at the Tortall Universe came in 1983, when Tamora Pierce published Alanna: The First Adventure. Stories from the Tortall Universe have largely focused on young heroines defying gender-based expectations, and thus have been incredibly influential to generations of writers and readers alike. The news comes nearly five years after Pierce told The Mary Sue that her novels would likely never be brought to the screen, much to fans' disappointment. If you love the Arya and Sansa storylines in Game Of Thrones, have I got some good news for you: On Friday, Deadline announced that a TV show based on Tamora Pierce's Tortall Universe is coming soon.
