Summary of this Book... | ||
This book is the first in what has become a wonderful series for children and teenagers. Alanna is a young girl living in the fantasy realm of Tortall. Ever since she was young, she has dreamed of becoming a female knight. Unfortunately, women are not allowed to become fighters in her world, and the prospect of becoming a proper lady is not one that appeals to her. Her twin brother, Thom, agrees to switch places with her, and Alanna takes his place as a knight in training at the palace of King Roald. She must disguise herself as a boy and prove to all others that she deserves to fight alongside the finest knights of the realm of Tortall. | ||
