What this book is about
Keladry is a knight at last—assigned to command Haven refugee camp instead of the front lines. When children are taken by the necromancer Blayce the Gallan, she must disobey orders to save them. Lady Knight is Tamora Pierce's most emotionally mature YA novel, about a woman who knows what's right and does it anyway.
