The first three chapters are officially translated into English on the Tara Duncan website listed above, though as far as I can tell, there is no news yet on when the full book will be translated and published in English. I’m an American, but I read the first two books in French, and can’t wait to get my hands on the rest. Each book gets better than the one before it, not only in the storytelling, but also in the storyline itself and how it makes sense. By and large Tara Duncan is about a girl who grows into her powers, and the trials that come with not only having magic, but getting transported to “AutreMonde”, a sort of magical world, and having to deal with the changes as well as figuring out just why Magister wants her/her powers, why he killed her father, why he kidnapped her mother, and why he is still after her. Furthermore, there is the question of why Tara’s magic is as strong as it is, and where her place should be between the Earth and AutreMonde.
I don’t think I do the series justice, but, hopefully this gives you an idea what it is about. If it sounds cliché, it’s not really, and the pace of the novels keeps you reading. I read about the first third of the second book in one day, it was just so absorbing.

Well, I’m french and a fan of Tara Duncan,and I must say it’s an incredible story. In the website, you can have the first chapter of the fist tome translated “les sortceliers” become “the spellwavers” and the author said she succeed into convincing american translators to translate it. I see wich books the illustrations refer to…

God I love Range Murata. He’s a big influence on me in terms of illustrations. I have a number of these around the net but never knew where they came from. You learn something new everyday.
