So she finds a way to switch places with her twin brother, Thom, and, disguised as a boy, begins her training as a page at the palace of King Roald. But the road to knighthood, as she discovers, is not an easy one. Alanna must master weapons, combat, and magic, as well as polite behavior, her temper, and even her own heart.
So begin Alanna’s adventures—filled with swords and sorcery, adventure and intrigue, good and evil—that will lead to the fulfillment of her dreams and make her a legend in the land.

Her archenemy, Duke Roger, is back and more formidable than ever, putting Tortall in great danger.

Wildness is a kind of magic Discover a land of enchantment, legend,
and adventure in this third book of The Immortals series, featuring
an updated package - perfect for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Daine Sarrasri's power is growing, and her bond with animals is
ever stronger. Along with her mentor, Numair, and a delegation from
Tortall, Daine is sent to the Emperor Mage of Carthak in hopes that
she can help to smooth international relations between their lands
before discord bubbles over into war - by helping the emperor's
ailing birds. But Carthak's emperor Ozorne is charmingly
treacherous, and Carthak itself built on the labour and suffering
of slaves. No matter her choices, Daine finds herself at the centre
of a terrible crossroads: she cannot turn away from animals in
need, but to help this man could place those she loves in the
greatest danger and make a mockery of all she values. All the
while, her magic is flourishing, leading her to answers and
abilities beyond what she ever could have dreamed ... but also to
incredible danger.
Tamora Pierce begins a new Tortall trilogy introducing Beka Cooper,
an amazing young woman who lived 200 years before Pierce's popular
Alanna character. For the first time, Pierce employs first-person
narration in a novel, bringing readers even closer to a character
that they will love for her unusual talents and tough personality.
Beka Cooper is a rookie with the law-enforcing Provost's Guard, and
she's been assigned to the Lower City. It's a tough beat that's
about to get tougher, as Beka's limited ability to communicate with
the dead clues her in to an underworld conspiracy. Someone close to
Beka is using dark magic to profit from the Lower City's criminal
enterprises--and the result is a crime wave the likes of which the
Provost's Guard has never seen before.
