Book Review By CoolPD
Lady Knight - Protector of the Small 4 by Tamora Pierce

Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan has survived the challenges of knight training and is now the second Lady Knight in the realm. But she feels discriminated against when she is sent to command a refugee camp instead of sent to battle. She soon learns that this is not a dirty job and she uses her commanding skills to help the camp flourish. The only problem is; Kel knows that a genius mage is using dead children to power his super-strong killing machines. When her enemy's soldiers capture the children of her camp, it is up to her to save them, but can Kel do it alone?
