From now on I'm Alan of Trebond, the younger twin. I'll be a knight.

And so young Alanna of Trebond begins the journey to knighthood. Though a girl, Alanna has always craved the adventure and daring allowed only for boys; her twin brother, Thom, yearns to learn the art of magic. So one day they decide to switch places: Thom heads for the convent to learn magic; Alanna, pretending to be a boy, is on her way to the castle of King Roald to begin her training as a page.

But the road to knighthood is not an easy one. As Alanna masters the skills necessary for battle, she must also learn to control her heart and to discern her enemies from her allies.

Filled with swords and sorcery, adventure and intrigue, good and evil, Alanna's first adventure begins - one that will lead to the fulfillment of her dreams and the magical destiny that will make her a legend in her land.



Cindee | 706 comments I am currently reading Alanna The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness #1) by Tamora Pierce and I am 165 pages in not far from finishing and the story is as good as I remember more than a decade ago. (view spoiler)


Cindee | 706 comments The story and characters are well developed and I like the bit of realism that is thrown in it makes the story more interesting.


Cindee | 706 comments I love the story it develops well and is so very interesting I don't think I have liked an old favorite author when I reread any books by them other than Tamora Pierce. For a book written in the 80s, it is so very good I like it very much.

I'm always surprised that it was written in the 80's as well. It seems very modern. O.o
