Tamora Pierce brings readers another Tortall adventure! Alianne is the teenage daughter of the famed Alanna, the first lady knight in Tortall. Young Aly follows in the quieter footsteps of her father, however, delighting in the art of spying. When she is captured and sold as a slave to an exiled royal family in the faraway Copper Islands, it is this skill that makes a difference in a world filled with political intrigue, murderous conspiracy, and warring gods.

Journeying with Kel
I have finished my first adventure with Kel and I enjoyed it. i have always enjoyed school adventures and Tammy has once more added other elements I love - knights, magic, and royalty.
I enjoyed this one very much.

Girl-centric coming of age story.
Perhaps my favourite of Tamora Pierce's series'. Strong female characters, decent narration. Good beginning to a great series.

The protector of the small quartet Book #1
Did not Love it, but it is a first book in a series. Which tend not to be my favourite.
I have heard Bearnadette Dunne read other books she is a good reader.
