Tamora Pierce brings readers another Tortall adventure! Alianne is the
teenage daughter of the famed Alanna, the first lady knight in Tortall. Young
Aly follows in the quieter footsteps of her father, however, delighting in the
art of spying. When she is captured and sold as a slave to an exiled royal
family in the faraway Copper Islands, it is this skill that makes a difference
in a world filled with political intrigue, murderous conspiracy, and warring
gods. This is the first of two books featuring Alianne.
The 2 Tricksters / Daughter of the Lioness books are set in the same world
as the Song of the Lioness and The Immortals series.
