1A/N: I read this book and was crazy about it and so I read the next book after this. But whenever I thought about it, I always pictured the last part of the book differently. So, this is my version of the Trickster's Choice Finale! But, before I write that, I am going to write a brief summary of the book so far so that people don't get lost or confused (like I usually am) Enjoy!
Alianna (Aly) is the daughter of Tortall's Kings Champion and first lady knight in over 100 years, Allanna the Lioness and the former king of thieves but now spymaster of Tortall, George Cooper. Her aunt is Buri former leader of the Queen's Rider's and her uncle is Sir Raoul, one of the most famous knights in Tortall. Her other aunt is Daine, most powerful wildmage in Tortall and half goddess, and her other uncle, Numair is the most powerful mage in the land. Her godparents are the King and Queen themselves! So it is safe to say that she leads no ordinary life. For the past 16 years, Aly has been trained by her father in the life of a spy. She can notice things that any other person couldn't and she was smarter than all of the youth her age. But her father is absolutely set against her becoming a spy!
When Aly is captured by pirates and sold as a slave in the Copper Isles to the Balitangs. There, she is confronted by the god Kyprioth who was thrown from the Isles a few centuries ago by his brother and sister, Mithros and the Great Mother Goddess. When the Balitangs are put out of favor by there king, they must move out into the middle of nowhere to the little castle of Tanair. He wagers then her that if she can keep the Balitang children alive until the end of the Summer, then he will send her home with a good word to her father. When she agrees she is taken to the castle and finds herself in a secret Raka conspiracy among the slaves and servants. There she fends off assassins, gathers information, and gives people headaches.
During this time, a man named Brunau, brother to the Prince (not legal prince for woman do not inherit) comes and "falls in love with" the eldest daughter, Sairai and she with him. When the king dies he returns to the kingdom only to have the next kind die of natural causes. The heir to that king is the king's 3 year old son. When Brunau tries to kidnapp the young king he flees and turns up at Tanair with only 10 soldiers but 50 more waiting to attack at his command.
