JOANNAEL: Jo has finally become squire to Dean, prince of Tortall, one of the few people who knows her secret: she’s really Joanna and not Joseph as she’s told everyone. Going to court functions as required of the prince’s squire, Jo finds herself seduced by one Anna of Eldorne, who seems to make a game of drawing emotion out of Squire Jo. Jo tells herself she dislikes Anna out of jealousy: Anna’s relationship with Dean has become … more than friendly. But in the back of her mind, she relishes every dance she gets with the lady. Is it really Anna she’s jealous of, or is it Dean?
