Description: This series follows Alanna of Trebond, a young woman who disguises herself as a man to becomeThis series follows Alanna of Trebond, a young woman who disguises herself as a man to become a knight under the King of Tortall. Throughout the series, many events transpire -- you follow Alanna throughout her first steps as a page, as a woman, watch her grow up, experience love, loss, and heartache, and, of course, physical pain.

Chock full of fantastical creatures, magic and very interesting characters, this is a wonderful series that is very re-readable. These books were intended for young adult readers -- the writing is a bit simple, but Pierce is a very talented writer with a knack for beautiful descriptions and interesting dialogue....
