In this second installment of the Song of the Lioness quartet, Alanna comes into her own in a big way. The second story is more well structured than the first, but in essence it was a continuation of the first story. Alanna meets the Goddess on her way home from an errand she's running from her overlord (Prince Jonathan). The Goddess tells her she has three fears she must overcome, and the rest of the story details how she overcomes those three fears. Her first fear is of the Ordeal that she must undergo in order to become a knight. The second is her fear of love, and the third fear is her fear of Duke Roger. By the end of the story, Alanna has developed a romantic relationship with Prince Jonathan, undergone the Ordeal for Knighthood, and defeated Duke Roger. It wraps up well.
