With brilliant new livery to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this ground-breaking fantasy series, Alanna the Lioness – the first woman knight – rides again.

Alanna’s journey continues, now as a squire to Prince Jonathan, the heir to the throne. But Jonathan is more than just her prince. He is also her best friend. No one else knows the secret she’s been keeping for years: to them, Alanna is Alan, a boy pursuing knighthood like any other young man of his rank.

When a mysterious sorcerer threatens the prince’s life, Alanna must do everything she can to protect him – even at the risk of revealing who she really is. . .

Forty years on from first publication, The Song of the Lioness Quartet retains its warmth, adventure, and steel, affirming this coming-of-age tale as a timeless masterpiece.
