The Song of the Lioness

The Song of the Lioness

"The Song of the Lioness" is a quartet of fantasy books by Tamora Pierce. They tell the story of how Alanna of Trebond (disguised as the boy "Alan") swaps places with her twin brother Thom to train as a knight in the royal palace. Alanna meets new friends along her journey, including George, the charming and mischievous King of Thieves; the lovable but unkempt scholar Sir Myles of Olau; Gareth "Gary" of Naxen; Raoul of Goldenlake; Princess Thayet of Sarain; Liam the Shang Dragon; and Prince Jonathan of Conte, Alanna's best friend. She also meets several foes, including Ralon of Malven and Duke Roger of Conte, Jonathan's charming but sly cousin. Alanna also acquires a new pet—her mysterious black cat Faithful, who, true to his name, keeps her from harm.
