"From now on I'm Alan of Trebond, the younger twin. I'll
be a knight."
In a time when girls are forbidden to be warriors, Alanna
of Trebond wants nothing more than to be knight of the
realm of Tortall. So she finds a way to switch places with
her brother, Thom. Disguised as a boy, Alanna begins her
training as a page at the palace of King Roald. The road
to knighthood, as she discovers, is not an easy one.
Alanna must master weapons, combat, magic -- and also
polite behavior, her temper, and even her own heart. With
stubbornness, skill, and daring, she wins the admiration
of all around her, and the friendship of Prince Jonathan
of Tortall himself. But she also makes an enemy of the
prince's uncle, the powerful and charming Duke Roger....
Filled with swords and sorcery, adventure and intrigue,
good and evil, Alanna's first adventure begins -- one that
will lead to the fulfillment of her dreams and the magical
destiny that will make her a legend in her land.
