This eagerly awaited graphic novel adaptation of the iconic fantasy novel First Test reimagines
the classic knight's tale but with a twist. In a world not quite ready for her ambition a
determined girl seeks knighthood and finds herself on a mission to prove it. Keladry is the
first girl who dares to take advantage of a new rule in her homeland Tortall--one that allows
women to train for knighthood. She knows she’s ready for the traditional hazing and grueling
schedule of a page but standing in her way is the knights’ training master Lord Wyldon. The
training master is dead set against girls becoming knights and in an attempt to further hold
Kel back Lord Wyldon decides that she must pass a one-year trial that no male page has ever
had to endure. But she is not to be underestimated. She will fight to succeed even if the test
is purposely unfair. The Protector of the Small series gets its first graphic novel adaptation
bringing to life Tamora Pierce’s bestselling First Test in an exciting new format. This graphic
novel story about believing in yourself and overcoming all odds combines action and adventure
in a way that new and old fans of the series will love.
