Product Description:
Sixteen is a rebellious age for most young people, and Aly is no exception. With her mother, the lady knight Alanna, forever being summoned to some crisis or other, and the young men of Tortall little more than diversions, Aly is bored and restless. Her father is second-in-command of the country's spies- of only he would let her be one! The former king of theives, he had trained her in the arts of espionage and knows that she is capable of taking care of herself. But he won't risk losing his only daughter to the dangers of the field, so she spendsher time helping him decode messages and dyeing her hair blue.But everything changes when Aly, sailing alone down the coast of Tortall, is captured by pirates and winds up a slave to the Balitangs, a kindly noble family of the Copper Isles. Years of lessons in the Isles' history have prepared her for their dual cultures- those of luarin, or white, conquerors and those of the brown-skinned, or raka, natives. Fueled by prophecies of a twice-royal queen who will free them, the rakas' resentment keeps the realm in constant turmoil. But Aly is no weeping captive; she's determined to free herself.Enter Kyprioth, patron god of the Isles, also known as Trickster, who is looking to shift the balance of power back to his raka worshipers. Aly makes a deal with the god: she will use her own trickster gifts to keep the Balitang children, especially the two teenage girls, safe through the summer. In exchange, Kyprioth will give her magical assistance in the form of spying crows and knowledge of events at court-and eventually, her freedom. But deals with gods are never simple matters; she doesn't count on becoming personally involved in the raka revolt, or with an unusual young man who has his own plans for Aly. ...

Some of the reviews will tell you not to get this book because they were confused that it was new installment of the series. However, the description reads "Book 1 & 2"--therefore, you must read the description.
As for the book itself, I found it to be a wonderful book. Full of mini-stories & mini-plots, it keeps you interested & your brain moving. For me, it was hard to put down until I was either too tired from the day or I was done. Not difficult reading, but not boring. As a 30 yr ... Read More

"Tricksters" is the Science Fiction Book Club's edition which combines "Trickster's Choice" and "Trickster's Queen," which are books 1 and 2 of the "Daughter of the Lioness" series. There was some confusion about this because a seller, not Amazon, had given this item a title that suggested it was book 3 in the series. I submitted a correction to the title, which has been accepted by Amazon. To the best of my knowledge, there will be no futher books in this "Daughter of the Lioness" series, however ... Read More

I bought this thinking since it said 3, it would be number three in the series, but no, there is no reason for that three! Its only one and two in one book. It needs to be changed so that people know what they're getting.
