Publisher Description
The stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling series from the fantasy author who is a legend herself: TAMORA PIERCE. Victory is not always what it seems. Keladry of Mindelan has finally achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a knight—but it’s not quite what she imagined. In the midst of a brutal war, Kel has been assigned to oversee a refugee camp. She’s sure it’s because Lord Wyldon still doesn’t see her as equal to the men. Nevertheless, she’s learning the importance of caring for people who have been robbed of their homes, wealth, and self-respect. Perhaps this battle is as important as the war with Scanra? When Kel has a vision of the man behind the horrific killing devices that her friends are fighting without her, will she honor her sworn duty . . . or embark on a quest that could turn the tide of the war? More timely than ever, the Protector of the Small series is Anti-Bullying 101 while also touching on issues of bravery, friendship, and dealing humanely with refugees against a backdrop of an action-packed fantasy adventure. "Tamora Pierce's books shaped me not only as a young writer but also as a young woman. She is a pillar, an icon, and an inspiration. Cracking open one of her marvelous novels always feels like coming home." —SARAH J. MAAS, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Tamora Pierce didn't just blaze a trail. Her heroines cut a swath through the fantasy world with wit, strength, and savvy. Her stories still lead the vanguard today. Pierce is the real lioness, and we're all just running to keep pace." —LEIGH BARDUGO, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Kel comes into her own as a full knight, defending the border. I enjoyed this almost as much as Squire, which is my favorite of the Protector of the Small quartet. There's a lot of action, and I appreciate the fact that Kel doesn't really need to have a man in her life."
— Odette (4 out of 5 stars)

" Lady Knight is by far the most violent of the Protector of the Small but a good listen all the same "

" I found the Protector quartet a little disappointing but really nothing could have lived up to the Immortals. Kel is another of Tamora's excellent female protagonists with a strong and disciplined approach to the hardships that befall her. The plot is gripping and suspenseful as all Pierce stories and it I was driven to finish the series, but it didn't capture my imagination quite as much as her earlier quartets. "

— Foggygirl, 3/21/2011 -
" Another great book from this author...I was sad about the lack of romance but Kel and her friends never dissapoint. Monsters with the spirits of dead children, small evil masterminds in foreign countries, and Kel's new friend, Tobe, kept me reading until the end. "
— Zaza, 3/6/2011 -
" i think this is one of the most amazing book i have ever read. its very descriptive. it show kel's true character very well. "
— Jessica2live.com.au, 1/9/2011 -
" Having loved Alanna and Danae since I was a girl, I came to really like Kel as well - yet another type of strong female character that we get to follow as she grows up and finds her own way. Tamora Pierce's Tortall remains one of my favorite YA worlds! "
— Evamaria, 12/20/2010 -
" Dissapointed that the series is over.. this last one is also not as good as the previous novels. "
— Jesse, 12/14/2010 -
" I like Kell soooo much she is a lot like me. Loves to save innocent children, and animals. Peachblosm must have some part mule in him. "
— Gwyn, 12/11/2010 -
" What a great heroine. And it wouldn't be a Pierce book without a kidnapping and a heroine who passes out after a battle. "
— Darceylaine, 12/6/2010 -
" Tobe is so cute, and I think that This is what Kel was always meant to do! "
— Mallory, 11/22/2010 -
