Now a knight errant, Alanna goes on a quest for a legendary jewel in
this fourth and final book in Tamora Pierce's Margaret A. Edwards
Award-winning young adult series--now with a new look!
Having achieved her dream of becoming the first female knight errant,
Alanna of Trebond finds herself at loose ends. She has already triumphed
in countless bloody battles, and her adventures are considered
legendary. Perhaps being a knight errant is not all that Alanna needs...
But Alanna must push her uncertainty aside when she is tasked with the
impossible.
She must recover the Dominion Jewel, a legendary gem that has enormous
power for good...in the right hands. And Alanna must work fast. Her
archenemy, Duke Roger, is back and more formidable than ever, putting
Tortall in great danger. As she puts her hard-won skills to use, Alanna
discovers through fierce combat and ceaseless searching that she can
make a future worthy of her mythic past--both as a warrior and as a
woman.
