Protector of the Small Quartet by Tamora Pierce (Illumicrate Exclusive)

Following the love for our Song of the Lioness editions, we’ve returned to Tamora Pierce’s incredible world of Tortall and created these editions for another series we hold close to our hearts!

WHEN THEY SAY YOU WILL FAIL . . . FAIL TO LISTEN.

As the only female page in history to pass the first year of training to become a knight, Keladry of Mindelan is a force to be reckoned with. But Kel’s battle to prove herself isn’t over. She must master
her paralyzing vertigo, the gruelling training schedule and the dark machinations of those who would rather she fail.

But in times of danger, Kel shines.

The kingdom’s nobles are beginning to wonder if she can succeed far beyond what they imagined. And those who hate the idea of a female knight are getting desperate – they will do anything to halt her journey.

In a landmark quartet published years before it’s time, Kel must prove herself twice as good as her male peers just to be thought equal. A series that touches on questions of courage, friendship, a humane perspective – told against a backdrop of a magical, action-packed fantasy adventure.
