Tanith Lee

29 Series

Tanith Lee was a prolific British author known for her contributions to science fiction, horror, and fantasy genres. She is best recognized for series such as the Claidi Journals, the Unicorn series, and the Tales from the Flat Earth. Over her career, Lee published 77 novels, 14 collections, four radio plays, and nearly 300 short stories.

In Tanith Lee's "Claidi Journals," the first book, "Wolf Tower," introduces Claidi, a 16-year-old orphan serving as a handmaiden to a cruel royal family. Outspoken and yearning for romance, Claidi becomes entangled in a daring plot to rescue a captivating prisoner. Her journey challenges the oppressive regime of the House, setting the stage for an enthralling teen fantasy series.
