A knight at last, Alanna of Trebond heads out to seek adventure in the desert of Tortall. Captured by desert tribesmen, she is forced to prove herself in a magical duel to the death. But her real challenge doesn't come until after she wins. As the first female shaman, Alanna must fight to change the ancient traditions of the stubborn desert tribes -- for their own sake and for the sake of all Tortall. This third book in the Song of the Lioness quartet continues Alanna's saga as she strikes out alone and discovers herself anew.

Now Prince Jonathan has arrived, and he is training to become the Voice of the Tribe. He also proposes to Alana. Alana isn't sure about marriage, and they fight. Now Jonathan has a new princess on his arm and Alana has taken up with George, King of Thieves."

" Even though is early teens level reading / maybe a little earlier it really is a timeless classic that I still enjoy 10 years later. Trini the reader was fantasic. "

" A good book, but rather unwieldy title. Alanna is a little fickle and there's too much love in this book for my taste, but I'm not really the romance type. I like action, which there is a little less of, again. I don't think it quite deserves 4 stars, but not 3 either, so maybe 3 1/2. An overall pretty good book. "
— Esther, 2/19/2014 -
" I still love reading this YA series. Alanna is a strong young woman, who goes against many rules, but only to do good. After being one of a few women to become a knight, she becomes the first woman in the Bazhir tribe to become a shaman. It's a quick and easy, but enjoyable read (still not for elementary students though). "
— Irene, 2/11/2014 -
" This book followed the others very nicely and and I was a great 3rd book. I can't wait to read the fourth book! "
— Kiana, 2/10/2014 -
" I cant resist a story with great and strong women, femanine yet strong as this series has. Add magic to it and I am hooked. It will take you to a fantasy world and make you fall in love with characters while pitying others...you will not want to leave! "
— Athena, 2/4/2014 -
" The third book in the Song of the Lioness saga is a great one--a near complete switching of gears, it focuses on Alanna as an adult, and revolves around her experiences with the Bazhir, an interesting fantasy take on nomadic desert people. Though things remain strictly PG, it also expands on Alanna's romantic life. It's a great read, and better than the first two. "
— Ben, 1/25/2014 -
" Though still excellent, this is probably my least favorite of the series. In the other books I love all the interactions with the other knights in training and the people in Corus. This one most of the book takes place away from the capital. I just miss some of the old characters. "
— Allison, 1/14/2014 -
" Enjoyment wise probably closer to a three (for most of the book) but I'm rounding up because Pierce was ahead of her time and a gen-u-ine badass for what she chooses to do with her characters. "
— Stephanie, 1/6/2014 -
" I really like this series, I zipped through all four books. Tamora Pierce shows the readers that women (and girls) really can do anything, even in a time period when women usually just stayed home and looked after the house, Alanna just had to be sneaky about it. "
— Lo-lo, 12/26/2013 -
" Wow, Tamora Pierce is such a good author! I really love her books, and I love her writing style. I definitely recommend this book, and am looking forward to reading the rest of the books by her. "

" Oh, Alanna, Oh, Jon. Oh, George. Alanna sets out on her first year as a knight. We get to see the world beyond the castle grounds, and drama arises everywhere. "
— Daphne, 8/31/2013 -
" My least favorite of the series. I'm not even quite sure, myself why I didn't enjoy it. "

— Empyrean, 11/24/2012 -
" I didnt like the fact that she mainly stayed with the Bazhirs but it was good all the same. "
— Naj, 9/2/2012 -
" This one was okay but I didn't like how much Jonathan changed. Alanna's changes seemed a part of growing up. Overall I enjoyed it but felt it wasn't as good as the other two. "

" The cat's out of the bag. Every one knows that "Alan" is really Alanna. To avoid the scandal, newly knighted Alanna sets out for adventure. In helping two Gifted youngsters she teaches not just them, but herself and gains confidence in her own Gift. "
