Keladry of Mindelan has finally achieved her lifelong dream of being a knight – though it's not turning out as she imagined at all. With the land of Tortall at war with the Scanrans, she has been assigned to oversee a refugee camp. But Kel has also had a vision in the Chamber – a vision of the man behind the horrific battle machines that her fellow knights and friends are fighting without her. She is torn between a duty she has sworn to uphold and a quest that she feels could turn the tide of war.
The Protector of the Small quartet is set in the same world as the Song of the Lioness and The Immortals series.
