Keladry of Mindelan has returned to the royal palace of Tortall, where she fights to maintain the rigorous regimen of a page while confronting the prejudices that come with being a female in a man’s world. And if that isn’t hard enough, she’s also starting to get something suspiciously like a crush on her closest friend, the handsome and sarcastic Neal. Yet Kel has much to be grateful for as well: a loyal circle of friends, an ill-tempered but lovable horse, and a scruffy dog who would give his life for her. Then one day, a group of pages is trapped by bandits, and the boys depend on Kel to lead them. Could it be a sign of things to come? Suddenly those in power are looking at Kel in a whole new way, wondering if she can succeed far beyond what they imagined. . . .

      At the royal palace of Tortall, Keladry is now a young page and is still the only female who is training to attain the rank of squire. Narrator Bernadette Dunne ably portrays Kel as a tough girl handling swords at training practice, fighting bullies in dorm halls, and facing her first battle with bandits. When adolescence brings Kel unexpected and uncontrollable bodily changes, Dunne is equally adept at capturing her emotional confusion. The story's male characters far outnumber the females, and Dunne has quite a challenge creating distinct voices for the supporting roles. She doesn't always succeed, but that doesn't matter. Her portrayal of Kel is as strong as the steel of a squire's sword. M.M.O. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
