  Summary

  What Maude sees in the fire is too dire to allow the twins to switch places.

  Thom goes to the palace, intent on learning magic despite the forced distractions of training for a knighthood he has no desire for. He didn't account for friends, mentors, romance, and the deadly web surrounding Roger of Conté.

  Alanna goes to the convent, intent on hating it. And she might have, if everyone at the convent was like Delia of Eldorne, but to her surprise, women are more varied than her preconceptions bred from her isolation. And yet, whenever something seems like it's within her grasp, things outside of her control sweep in to upend her life.

  Or, Thom receives actual mentors and learns how to make friends, Alanna is really Going Through It, there are more than 4 named noblewomen, Roger remains a treasonous creep, being a favorite of the Gods is troublesome to the extreme, and even friendship cannot prevent all tragedies
