Page - Tamora Pierce

The second book in the New York Times bestselling series from the fantasy author who is a legend herself: TAMORA PIERCE.

When they think you will fail . . . fail to listen.


As the only female page in history to pass the first year of training
to become a knight, Keladry of Mindelan is a force to be reckoned with.
But even with her loyal circle of friends at her side, Kel's battle to
prove herself isn't over yet. She is still trying to master her
paralyzing fear of heights and keep up with Lord Wyldon's grueling
training schedule. When a group of pages is trapped by bandits, the boys
depend on Kel to lead them to safety. The kingdom's nobles are
beginning to wonder if she can succeed far beyond what they imagined.
And those who hate the idea of a female knight are getting
desperate-they will do anything to thwart her progress.

More
timely than
ever, the Protector of the Small series is Anti-Bullying
101 while also
touching on issues of bravery, friendship, and dealing
humanely with
refugees against a backdrop of an action-packed fantasy
adventure.

"Tamora
Pierce's books shaped me not only as a young
writer but also as a young
woman. She is a pillar, an icon, and an
inspiration. Cracking open one
of her marvelous novels always feels
like coming home."
-SARAH J. MAAS, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Tamora
Pierce didn't just blaze a trail. Her heroines cut a swath through the
fantasy world with wit, strength, and savvy. Her stories still lead
the
vanguard today. Pierce is the real lioness, and we're all just
running
to keep pace."
-LEIGH BARDUGO, #1 New York Times bestselling author
