A fabulous series. It's published for teens, but it's great for adults, too. A girl who wants to be a knight switches places with her brother, and disguises herself as a boy to go through knight's training in a world with magic and mystery. This is book two, which is more adventures of Alanna. The back says, "Disguised as a boy, Alanna of Trebond becomes a squire - to note other than the prince of the realm. But Prince Jonathan is much more to Alanna; he is her ally, her best friend, and one of the few who knows that she's really a girl. Now it will take all of Alanna's awesome skill, strength, and growing magical powers to protect him from the mysterious evil sorcerer who is bent on his destruction - and hers!

"Here continues the story of Alanna, a young woman bound for glory who is willing to fight against enormous odds for what she believes in."
