She could never have obeyed her father's wishes and wed the local pig farmer. A soldier's life is preferable to that of a pig farmer's wife, and so, despite knowing that she would never return home, Paks fled to become a soldier. Thus, a journey began that would ultimately transform a plain Sheepfarmer's Daughter into a hero worthy of the gods' selection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn all-new introduction by the author is included!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Moon is a highly acclaimed author known for her captivating storytelling and intricate character development.
