    Summary

    Alanna always knew Thayet was beautiful; she'd just never considered that Thayet's beauty was something she could do something about. And though George says he's willing to let Alanna do whatever she needs, there's something about being bound too tightly to even those she loves that is hard for Alanna to accept after the loss of Thom and Faithful.

    Summary

    In a world where Tortall is ruled by Roger of Conté, the King Who Defeated Death, one girl grows up with three names and grows into one more.

    Within the court of Jonathan of Conté, contested king of Tortall and Prince Consort of Sarain, she is known as Alianne of Meron. In her mother's fierce whispers describing a foreign world, her name is Alianne of Trebond and Olau. Amongst the sand and scrub of the Great Southern Desert, where she and her brother grow up hunted by the false king's men, she is Alya bint Jirjis abu-Saqr Al Bazhir. And when she is fourteen, she becomes Alysa of Mudcreek and leaves every home she has ever known for Roger of Conté's palace.
