Disguised as a boy, Alanna of Trebond becomes a squire -- to none other than the prince of the realm. But Prince Jonathan is much more to Alanna; he is her ally, her best friend, and one of the few who knows that she's really a girl. Now it will take all of Alanna's awesome skill, strength, and growing magical powers to protect him from the mysterious evil sorcerer who is bent on his destruction--and hers!
Probably my all-time favourite Tamora Pierce book... although it's subject to change whenever I reread one of the others ;-) When writing this series, Tamora Pierce still stuck to the 'keep it simple' policy (something which she dropped in later books) making her earlier series both more accessible and more charming.
