Song of the Lioness series.
Like Pierce's Song of the Lioness series, these offshoots of that series are being reissued and repackaged in handy rack-size hardcovers. These first two titles in this series are well-written, suspenseful fantasy novels. [Review covers these Immortals titles: Wild Magic and Wolf-Speaker.]

Song of the Lioness series.
The third and fourth books in the popular series continue and conclude the adventures of the warrior maiden Alanna. Like the previous reissues of the first two books in the series, these editions are repackaged as handy rack-size hardcovers. [Review covers these Song of the Lioness titles: Lioness Rampant and The Woman Who Rides like a Man.]

Song of the Lioness series.
Pierce's popular novel introducing Alanna, the fiery red-haired girl who disguises herself as a boy in order to train as a knight, has been repackaged as a handy paperback-sized hardcover. This new edition will attract new readers to the fantasy, which is as enjoyable today as when it was first published twenty years ago.

Song of the Lioness series.
The sequel to Alanna: The First Adventure follows Alanna as she struggles with her training to learn knightly skills while continuing to conceal the fact that she is a girl. While similar in many ways to Robin McKinley's The Blue Sword, this tale is more dependent on action and adventure and less on character and setting, making it more accessible to somewhat younger readers.
