There is an urgency to her voice -as Alanna, the headstrong and determined Alan of Trebond, learns the skills of a knight and the power of her own magical gift as Coram, Alanna's gruff travelmate and confidant and as Jonathan, the prince in need of Alanna's magic and healing. She lightly and eagerly moves the adventure along.

Trini Alvarado is skillful in maintaining the tension in this girl-disguised-as-boy medieval fantasy. But in the opening scene, the destinations are switched, and Alanna, disguised as her brother, sets off on the path she has long desired.

The twins Thom and Alanna of Trebond are poised to leave their father for the training due young adults: Thom to the palace to learn the ways of a knight and Alanna to the convent to learn the skills of healing and sorcery.
