Answer 1

The Goose Girl and its sequels by Shannon Hale:

Princess Anidori of Kildenree, born with the gift to speak to animals, is sent off to Bayern to wed the prince and be their foreign queen. Along the way, though, her maiden and most of her guards turn on her, wanting the maid to be queen. They manage to dispose of most of the guards on Ani's side, but she runs away and finds shelter. Then, disguised as a goose girl, she lives by the kings palace and plans her revenge, with the help of Enna, her new best friend, and all the other animal tenders at the palace. She also unknowingly falls in love with the prince (who is disguised as the prince's guard). Her maid, striving to keep her crown, declares war against Kildenree so her old parents cannot tell who she is in visits. In the meantime, Ani learns to speak with the wind and control it, and using her powers and her friends, leads them on to restore the rightful queen to the throne.

Answer 4

Hi!

The Night Land

by William Hope Hodgson  

[O]ne of the strangest visions ever published in science fiction or fantasy is presented. The Sun has gone out: the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, the Last Redoubt, probably the first arcology in literature, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the "air clog," powered from the Earth's internal energy. For millennia, vast living shapes - the Watchers - have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human.¡ª Excerpted from The Night Land on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
