Alanna, as everyone well knows is one of the few women knights in the land of Tortall. Her entire life she has wished to meet a Shang warrior, and where else does she meet a Shang warrior but in Berat (the town that she traveled to that is located on the journey to the Dominion Jewel). The Shang dragon that she meets is most commonly called Liam who teaches Alanna the master of Shang fighting. Alanna, Liam, and Coram run into trouble while visiting an old friend of Sir Myles’s. What kind of trouble you may ask… the kind of trouble that wanted to kill Alanna. How unfortunate! Alanna learns much from her practice fighting with Liam. Sometimes I think that this story is real because it seems so alive and happening. Shang fighting is a very special type of combat; people (meaning children) at very young ages begin to train at a Shang School in far off land. Not many (or very few adults) were ever able to master Shang fighting to the point of the highest quality or such to the skill of Alanna’s ability. It seems that her journey keeps taking different paths, and changing other people lives (in a positive way of course!) Never underestimate someone because they are different from you, because in more than one instance they will outdo you and your efforts. Lioness Rampant; she is called that name for multiple reasons one of course is for her superior fighting skills, her magic power that she wields, her protection of the Gods, and her many friends and family she has and that cares for her.
