Alanna was riding in the forest when she found Faithful, a cat with eyes as violet as her own. The Goddess gives her an ember rock which gives her the power to see magic when the Gift is being used. She battles with Duke Roger of Conte and during that battle her gender is revealed to everyone.
The second book in the series: Song of the lioness. Book review by Jules van Ratingen
In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce
This book is really exciting, with twists and turns every chapter. The description is again, brilliant. It follows really nicely with the first book 'Alanna - the First Adventure' It wants the readers begging for the next book
In this book, Alanna befriends a cat with eyes as violet as her own. Naming it Faithful, the cat follows her everywhere, communicating with people he chooses. She is given an ember stone from the Goddess which has the power to see where the Gift is being used. Prince Jonathan's adult cousin. Duke Roger of Conte, plots to kill the King and Queen and Jonathan and steal the throne. Only Alanna knows about this, everyone suspects nothing. As she progresses towards knighthood, Alanna feels the urge to tame her feminine side as well. Her friends, George and Jonathan, the only two who know her true gender, goes unnoticed by this fact. She goes through the Ordeal of Knighthood and survives it, revieving her shield with the Lioness on it. She battles with Duke Roger of Conte and there her true gender is revealed to everyone. Read the book to find the rest out. . . .
The first book of the series may soon become a book!
