The stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling series from the fantasy author who is a legend herself: TAMORA PIERCE.

Victory is not always what it seems.

Keladry of Mindelan has finally achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a knight—but it’s not quite what she imagined. In the midst of a brutal war, Kel has been assigned to oversee a refugee camp. She’s sure it’s because Lord Wyldon still doesn’t see her as equal to the men. Nevertheless, she’s learning the importance of caring for people who have been robbed of their homes, wealth, and self-respect. Perhaps this battle is as important as the war with Scanra? When Kel has a vision of the man behind the horrific killing devices that her friends are fighting without her, will she honor her sworn duty . . . or embark on a quest that could turn the tide of the war?

More 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.

"Tamora Pierce's books shaped me not only as a young writer but also as a young woman. She is a pillar, an icon, and an inspiration. Cracking open one of her marvelous novels always feels like coming home."
—SARAH J. MAAS, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Tamora Pierce didn't just blaze a trail. Her heroines cut a swath through the fantasy world with wit, strength, and savvy. Her stories still lead the vanguard today. Pierce is the real lioness, and we're all just running to keep pace."

I don't even know where to begin. There is something so well developed about this book, so satisfying that when you finish it, you wish there was more. I remember the first time I read this book as a teen and my feelings have not changed. Kel is so unique as a character who has to operate in a world that is dominated by magic when she herself has none. And as a woman in a place of authority opperting in a male dominated profession.And yet she never lets the odds that are stacked against her get in the way of doing what is right, but also doing what others might deem too hard. Her determination and good heart make her such a compelling character, as does the loyalty she inspires from pretty much everyone who really gets to know her. This book is full of adventure, high moral stakes, beautiful friendships and I think really stands as a defining moment in the Tortall Universe Tamora Pierce has created. And FINALLY, I can say that after 4 books, the narrator seems to have hit the right note in terms of voices, tone and pacing.

Tamora Pierce at her finest
