What this book is about
Aly, the teenage daughter of legendary spy George Cooper and knight Alanna the Lioness, is captured by pirates and sold into slavery on the Copper Islands — where a deal with the trickster god Kyprioth sets her to protecting a noble family while unraveling a conspiracy. Tamora Pierce's smart, funny protagonist uses her inherited talents for reading people and situations, making this one of Pierce's most satisfying novels: the magic of the Tortall universe alongside genuinely compelling political intrigue.
