Part of the Bamarre series
A young warrior discovers her true heritage and must challenge tyranny to save her people.
Peregrine, a fierce Latki warrior, is poised to join her father in battle. But a fairy's revelation shatters her world: she is actually Bamarre, the very people her father despises. Now, Perry faces a daunting challenge—overcome prejudice and liberate her true kin from oppression. Can she defy her upbringing and embrace her destiny to heal a divided land? As she grapples with identity and loyalty, Perry must decide where her true allegiance lies. Will she rise against the Latki's might to free the Bamarre, or will her past hold her back?
In this compelling and thought-provoking fantasy set in the world of The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Newbery Honor-winning author Gail Carson Levine introduces a spirited heroine who must overcome deeply rooted prejudice–including her own–to heal her broken country.Peregrine strives to live up to the ideal of her people, the Latki–and to impress her parents: affectionate Lord Tove, who despises only the Bamarre, and stern Lady Klausine. Perry runs the fastest, speaks her mind, and doesn’t give much thought to the castle’s Bamarre servants, whom she knows to be weak and cowardly. But just as she’s about to join her father on the front lines, she is visited by the fairy Halina, who reveals that Perry isn’t Latki-born. She is Bamarre. The fairy issues a daunting challenge: against the Lakti power, Perry must free her people from tyranny.
