Squire follows Kel after she successfully completes her Page training as seen in Page and First Test. Sir Raoul selects her to be his squire, and she follows the Kings Own around Tortall for her years as a squire. She sees combat in many conditions, jousts against a variety of people who don't want women to become knights, and learns more than she thought she could while following the King and Queen on a Progress around the country and fighting off raiders. And then she faces the Chamber of the Ordeal.
