Protector of the Small Quartet set
by Tamora Pierce
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 Kel’s battle to prove herself isn’t over. She must master her paralyzing vertigo, the grueling training schedule, and the dark machinations of those who would rather she fail. But in times of danger, Kel shines. 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 halt her journey. Kel must prove herself twice as good as her male peers just to be thought equal in a quartet that touches on questions of courage, friendship, and a humane perspective, told against a backdrop of a magical, action-packed fantasy adventure.
