The Song of the Lioness Quartet is a stellar saga about Alanna of Trebond, packaged together for the first time in a boxed set. It is the adventurous story of one girl's journey to overcome obstacles, become a valiant knight, and save Tortall from conquest.

Alanna disguises her female identity to begin her training in Alanna: The First Adventure, and when she gains squire status in In the Hand of the Goddess, her growing abilities make her a few friends — and many enemies.

Books 3 and 4 complete Alanna's adventure and secure her legend, with the new knight errant taking on desert tribesmen in The Woman Who Rides like a Man and seeking out the powerful Dominion Jewel in Lioness Rampant.

This is fantasy writing at its best, showcasing Pierce's gifted writing and her knack for creating heroines unafraid to challenge the status quo, shining brightly in this Lioness set.
