Paksenarrion, a simple sheepfarmer's daughter, yearns for a life of adventure and glory, such as was known to heroes in songs and story. At age seventeen she runs away from home to join a mercenary company and begins her epic life.

Book Three: Paks the warrior must learn to live with Paks the human. She undertakes a holy quest for a lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her and tests her very limits.

Add Paksenarrion (an elfin name) to the pantheon of my heroes. In my review of Sheep Farmer's Daughter, Book 1 of The trilogy Deed Of Paksenarrion, I marveled at Moon's treatment of military issues and her integration of men and women in positions of leadership and of lesser rank. As I read the trilogy, Paks grew on me. I still feel that more character development a la George R. R. Martin and Terry Goodkind, would have fmade the trilogy a richer experience. This said, the trilogy is all about Paks, a remarkably human hero. I was in continual suspense about her fate until near the very end. But Moon does not kill off characters as Martin does. Instead, Moon wraps a gripping and at times spell binding tale around the development of her lead character, Paksenarrion Dorfan's Daughter. A well done first trilogy, in my opinion I am richer for having read it.

In the tradition of heroes

This is my favorite book. I am so glad it is on Audible. Fell in love with it as a pre-teen. A must read for young women. The narrator does an excellent job with the different characters and accents. This is the 3rd book in The Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy by Elizabeth Moon. :)

I have been a hardcore Harry Potter fan since third grade. I'm 32 years old, and this book Trilogy is fantastically written beautifully performed Jennifer Van Dyke is amazing. I love listening to this book, I listen to it all the time I think I've listened to it eight times and I've read it on the Kindle and in person. I just have to say it's a beautiful book well done

I almost like this more than Harry Potter

Wow, this is a broad, far reaching story! A fun twist that surprised me. Paks has come a long way since she left her childhood home.

Great Series
