Protector Of The Small:
First Test
Page
Squire
Lady Knight
~ Ten long years have come and gone since the Kingdom of Tortall proclaimed that girls could take on a page’s training. At long last, one young girl has come forward: Keladry of Mindelan.
Kel and her family spent several years in the Yamani Islands, where she received warrior training in the arts of self-control and weaponry. Her aptitude seems clear, but the training master, Lord Wyldon of Cavall, fears that women are too weak to serve. Since her parents are highly regarded by the court, Lord Wyldon gives in, but on one condition: Kel must serve a one-year probation.
Kel is furious, but she feels compelled to accept. She longs to become a knight like her heroine, Alanna the Lioness, the King’s Champion. Drawing on her Yamani training, Kel braces herself against the hazing of her classmates, who believe that no girl is good enough to serve side by side with a boy.
But this girl is determined to succeed. Kel refuses to let anyone or anything—including fearsome Immortal monsters such as the Spidren, Tauros or Hurroks—prey on the weak or the small.
And this determination will stand her in good stead, as she readies herself for a future that includes an evil sorcerer who is the greatest monster of all….

Songs Of The Lioness:
Alanna: The First Adventure
In the Hand of the Goddess
The Woman Who Rides Like a Man
Lioness Rampant
~ Alanna of Trebond dreams of being a knight, and her twin Thom desperately wants to be a sorcerer. But their father insists that Thom be trained as a knight and Alanna enter a convent for a proper, ladylike, upbringing. So Alanna secretly swaps their letters of introduction, and—with a little help from friendly family servants—becomes "Alan," a page at the court of King Roald, while her brother sets off to the City of the Gods and intensive training in magic.
She quickly makes friends with the heir, Prince Jonathan, but also meets the King’s brother, the charismatic Duke Roger, who she is sure is up to no good. Over the years of her training, she learns to fight and ride, to command magic and to enforce the King’s justice. But—before she can become a knight—she also must face ancient demons, the treacherous Duke Roger, warlike neighbors and, finally, her own secrets.
