Return to the realm of Tortall for the third part of a magical quartet . . .
Keladry has finished her page training. She's passed the exams and now she's a fully fledged squire. Which is great - except that she needs a knight to take her on . . .
And her luck is in. After weeks of waiting, a knight-master has come forward. A true warrior to follow, if she can cope with the grueling life on campaign. Bandits and renegade centaurs are just what she's trained for - it couldn't be better.
But eventually Kel will have to return and face the Chamber of the Ordeal, the final test of a squire. One boy has already died in the chamber this year . . .
