Tamora Pierce opens 'The Song of the Lioness' quartet with a vivid description of Alanna (Sir Alan) and her trials in becoming a page in the Tortallan Court. Hiding the fact that she is actually a girl so that she can get her shield and be the only lady knight in Tortall, Alanna has many reasons to prove herself before all of her fellow pages and squires, one of whom is Prince Jonathon.

A captivating read that is hard to put down, Pierce takes the reader through the physical and mental struggles that Alanna faces in a "man's" world.
