of Trebond finally receives her shield as a knight. She goes on an adventure in the
North and gets caught up in a gang of bloodthirsty desert tribesmen, otherwise known as
robbers. They get into a huge fight until members of the Bloody Hawk tribe come and
help them drive the tribesmen away. Then members of the Bloody Hawks
take her to their village. They have every right to slay her for trespassing on
their land. Will the tribe finish Alanna or will they make her and her
man-in-arms members of the Bloody Hawk tribe? Read this zestful book to find
out. I would recommend this book to girls who like adventure and fantasy.
