Alanna must protect her best friend, the prince, from an evil sorcerer
in this second book in Tamora Pierce's Margaret A. Edwards Award-winning
young adult series--now with a new look!
Still disguised as a boy, Alanna becomes a squire to none other than the
heir to the throne. Prince Jonathan is not only Alanna's liege lord, but
also her best friend--and one of the few who know the secret of her
identity. When a vicious sorcerer threatens the prince's life, it will
take all of Alanna's skill, strength, and magical power to protect
him...even at the risk of surrendering her dreams.
