And the cause, Jame, and her friend Marc have fled. They are making their way through mountain passes, far too late in the season, hoping to find Jame's brother Tori somewhere on the other side. Nothing ever goes easily for Jame, least of all this journey. As hints of the past she has forgotten-of dark and horrid years in the house of Gerridon, betrayer of her people, the Kencyrath, and her god come to the surface, she encounters changers from the house of Gerridon, wanting to bring her back into that dark place. Arrin-ken, catlike creatures who are nevertheless a part of her own people, find and judge her. Bandits, brigands and strange remnants from the past of her people which suggest a dim future for them, their god and their hope of defeating the great enemy, Perimal Darkling-arise to haunt her. But her determination to find her brother and to avoid falling into eternal darkness only grows stronger.

Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: dj. First printing. Signed first edition of the second volume in Pierce's beloved SONG OF THE LIONESS quartet, in which the heroine Alanna, disguised as a boy, trains as a squire. In the SONG OF THE LIONESS series, Alanna of Trebond dresses as a boy in order to pursue the dangerous goal of (ultimately) becoming the first lady knight in the Kingdom of Tortall to win her shield in over a century. The series has something of a reputation as a cult classic, fervently championed by more than one generation of readers, largely young women, who grew up reading fantasy; because Alanna "had to disguise herself as something and someone else in order to be herself," she has also become a touchstone for young queer readers. Born in part from a dream fragment and in part from Pierce's love for stories of women passing as men, the LIONESS series offers an alternative to characters like Tolkien's Eowyn - Pierce's self-proclaimed "idol" - who gave up the sword when she became a wife and mother: "I didn't see why she had to give up fighting [.] I wrote a story with a girl who didn't." In 2013, specifically citing SONG OF THE LIONESS and PROTECTOR OF THE SMALL (a companion series set in the same Tortall universe but a generation after Alanna), the ALA honored Pierce with the Margaret A. Edwards Award in recognition of her "significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature." A lovely signed copy of this YA classic. 8.5'' x 5.5''.
