Title: Song of the Lioness. Alanna of Trebond as a young page is in the middle of the first panel. She says: “I’ll have to work extra hard and show everyone that I’m as good as any boy in the palace!” Alanna of Trebond as a young squire with Faithful the cat on her shoulder is in the middle of the second panel. She is holding a sword and the stone given to her by the Mother Goddess. She says: “I have to prove myself worthy of a knight’s shield because I’m secretly a woman!”

Alanna of Trebond as a young knight with Faithful the cat on her shoulder is in the middle of the third panel. She is holding a sword and her Lioness Rampant shield. The magical ember stone is around her neck. She is decorated with medals. She says: “I have to prove that the King was right to let me keep my shield after I revealed myself to be a woman!” Alanna of Trebond as a knight with Faithful the cat on her shoulder is in the middle of the fourth panel. She is wearing all gold armor and mail chain and the magical ember stone. She is holding a trophy with a blue ribbon on it, a giant magical blue stone, her sword, and her shield with blue ribbons on it, one of which says “Best Knight.” She says: “I don’t deserve to be King’s Champion! A Lady Knight has never been King’s Champion! I’ll have to work extra hard to show everyone I’m worthy!” Below the fourth panel is the artist as a 10-year-old child reading the Song of the Lioness books. The child says, “Gosh, I hope I don’t internalize Alanna’s intense imposter syndrome…”
