   Additional Information  
 
  Alanna, the only female knight, sets out across the desert of Tortall and is captured by desert tribesmen. Forced to prove herself, Alanna triumps in a magical duel to the death, becoming the tribe's first female shaman. But
another battle rages in Alanna's heart--she must decide whether to marry Prince Jonathan, her first love, or stay with her longtime friend George, the handsome, charismatic King of Thieves. "Lively and enjoyable, with a strong,
vigorous heroine."--The Horn Book
