In this second book of the series, The Lioness, In the Hand of the Goddess, Alanna continues her struggle to become a knight. Now she has finished her ordeal as a page and has become a squire. The time is very near for her to reveal her identity. For the past few years, she has been disguised as a boy and her brother has disguised himself under another name at a monastery.

Alanna must finish her battle against the wicked powers of Sir Roger. This novel will thrill and excite you. I strongly suggest you read In the Hand of the Goddess or any other books in the series. I just love these stories so much that I couldn’t keep my hands off of them.
