In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce
The second installment of The Song of the Lioness series narrates Alanna's trials and adventures as a squire to Prince Jonathon.
Alanna's character and talents develop, as do her relationships with friends, enemies and potential lovers.
Alanna is indeed in the hand of the Goddess, as she meets this Lady, setting the scene for Alanna's story, as well as some overarching themes in the Tortall world: strong female characters acting for the Immortals.
In Pierce's later works, we come to see more of how the Immortals work, and their reasons. In the Hand of the Goddess is a useful and intriguing introduction to the Immortals, and an exciting continuation of Alanna's story.
