"I don't want to fall in love. I just want to be a warrior maiden."
Still disguised as a boy, Alanna becomes a squire to none other than the prince of the realm. Prince Jonathan is not only Alanna's liege lord, he is also her best friend -- and one of the few who knows the secret of her true identity. But when a mysterious sorceror threatens the prince's life, it will take all of Alanna's skill, strength, and magical power to protect him -- even at the risk of revealing who she really is...
Filled with swords and sorcery, adventure and intrigue, good and evil, Alanna's second adventure continues the saga of a girl who dares to follow her dreams -- and the magical destiny that awaits her.
This story was just as good as the first in the series and is an equally quick read. I've come to enjoy how the author doesn't waste a lot of time between events, like some do, and as a result you don't end up bored because you're reading how detailed starting a fire is or something else as uninteresting. I didn't want to put the book down because I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
