Alanna of Trebond may be a girl of noble birth, but she will not be sentenced to the life of a well-mannered young lady. Alanna dreams of becoming a knight of the realm of Tortall, and the fact that girls are forbidden from doing so will not stop her. Alanna's twin brother, Thom, is similarly disappointed with his fate. His dreams of becoming a sorcerer are crushed by their father's order that he train to be a knight. Seeking control of their own destinies, the two hatch a cunning plan: Alanna will disguise herself as a boy and take Thom's place while he goes to the City of the Gods to learn the art of sorcery. But the path to knighthood will not be easy and, on her first adventure, Alanna will find both friends and enemies, sickness and sorcery, and the mystery of the magic within her.
