Plot Introduction
Protector of the Small is set in the Tortallan world of Pierce's Song of the Lioness and The Immortals quartets. Ten years after King Jonathan declared it legal for women to train as knights, the young Keladry of Mindelan steps forward to try for her shield, and become a page. Despite the legality, and under the protest of the King's Champion Alanna the Lioness, King Jonathan of Conté and the palace training master Wyldon of Cavall place her on probation for her first year as a page.

Famous quotes containing the words plot and/or introduction:
““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
