Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Trickster's Duet is the fourth sub-series in Tamora Pierce's Tortall Universe. It follows Alianne "Aly" of Pirate's Swoop, daughter of Sir Alanna the Lioness, as she stands on the brink of adulthood. Aly has little in common with her mother and much prefers her father's spywork, but both her parents refuse her numerous requests to become a field agent because it's such a dangerous job. After taking a trip to get away from the latest argument, Aly is captured by slavers and taken to the Copper Isles, one of Tortall's historic enemies. Turns out Kyprioth the Trickster God has selected her as one of his instruments to take back the Isles from the white luarin conquerers who subjugated and enslaved the dark-skinned raka. Kyprioth makes a wager with Aly: if she can keep the children of the disgraced Balitang family alive through the summer, he will convince her father to let her spy. This is harder than it seems when one of them is Sarai, the "twice-royal" lady who is prophesied to become Queen and reclaim the Isles, but Aly agrees to become the god's chosen and lend him her extensive skill in spying and deception.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Characters can be found here.Books include: Trickster's Choice Trickster's Queen | |

Altar Diplomacy: This duology about a carefully orchestrated rebellion spends quite a bit more time on alliances among the nobility than Pierce's other books. Sarai Balitang carries the blood of the old raka monarchs as well as the white conquerors currently ruling the country, and is believed to be the prophesied "Twice-Royal" queen who will restore the raka to glory. Reacting to her growing popularity with the public, the iron-fisted regents begin pressuring her into a marriage with the five-year-old boy-king (who is also her cousin). Sarai, completely unaware of the rebellion brewing on her behalf, doesn't see any way out of the marriage and decides to elope to Carthak. The conspiracy is suddenly without a figurehead. Lucky thing she has a smart, determined little sister who's ready and willing to take over, isn't it? | |
