The Song of the Lioness, Book 4

By: Tamora Pierce

Narrated by: Trini Alvarado

With brilliant new livery to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this ground-breaking high fantasy series, Alanna the Lioness – the first woman knight – rides again.

Alanna of Trebond has surpassed even her own impossible dreams of becoming the first female knight. She has faced countless threats, vanquished deadly rivals, and collected adventures worthy of legend. But Alanna is far from satisfied.

As trouble brews at home, she embarks on a quest to recover the legendary Dominion Jewel from the edge of her known world. Capable of gracing the holder with great power for good or ill, it may be her only hope to save the realm of Tortall.

When an old enemy returns with new plans and allies, she’ll need all the skills she has acquired if she is to save the ones she loves and the realm she serves.

Forty years on from first publication, The Song of the Lioness Quartet retains its warmth, adventure, and steel, affirming this coming-of-age tale as a timeless masterpiece.

Legendary

All young people should listen/read this series! Great narrator. I love Alanna the Lioness.

The quest and journey

This series is a wonderful place to escape to. I found Tamora when I was in my twenties. When this series celebrated its 40th anniversary Audible finally released them as audiobooks. I’ve read the series over and over through the years. Being able to listen to them is a nice blessing. I’m grateful for it and would love to see the rest of her books released the same way. Also I believe that Tamora’s daughter is an author as well. I will try to read her back lists as well as her mother’s. I’m grateful to read and listen to one of my favourite series in a new way. Being in this world with these characters is always a pleasure. One of the characters I wasn’t a fan of but the whole story was entertaining and enjoyable.
