After years in the Yamani Islands, she knows that women can be warriors, and now that she’s returned home, Kel is determined to achieve her goal. She believes she is ready for the traditional hazing and grueling schedule of a page. But standing in Kel’s way is Lord Wyldon. The training master is dead set against girls becoming knights. He says she must pass a one-year trial that no male page has ever had to endure. It’s just one more way to separate Kel from her fellow trainees. But she is not to be underestimated. She will fight to succeed, even when the test is unfair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore  timely than  ever, the Protector of the Small series is Anti-Bullying  101 while also  touching on issues of bravery, friendship, and dealing  humanely with  refugees against a backdrop of an action-packed fantasy  adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Tamora  Pierce's books shaped me not only as a young  writer but also as a young  woman.
