Alanna of Trebond's dearest wish is to become a knight, something forbidden to girls in this time. Since she has a twin and he is a boy it is easy to trade places and for her to head off to train to become a knight. She begins training as a page and discovers that the road to knighthood is not an easy one she has to master polite behavior, her temper, magic, weapons, and combat. She becomes friends with the prince and they fall into many adventures. I thought that this was a very girl power book. I loved how the main character is a girl that proves that she is as a good as any man.
