Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter may be the daughter of a humble sheep farmer in the far north end of the kingdom, but she dreams of so much more. After refusing her father’s orders to do the sensible thing and marry the pig farmer down the road, Paks, runs away to join a band of mercenaries, dreaming of daring deeds and military glory. But life in the army is different than she imagined, and her daydreams at first seem to be turning to nightmares. But Paks refuses to let her dreams die—and does her duty with honor and integrity. Her path is an arduous one, but it will transform her into a hero remembered in songs, chosen by the gods to restore a lost ruler to his throne.

The Compton Crook Award‑winning first novel from Nebula‑winning author Elizabeth Moon. The first in the Paksenarrion Trilogy—now with an all‑new introduction by the author.

    A deep and detailed background, great for a wargame setting. Moon knows her stuff. I decided to buy the trilogy after only reading about quarter of the book.

    Great book but I'd recommend that you forget about reading 'Sheepfarmer's Daughter', just go ahead and purchase 'The Deed of Paksenarrion', it's the complete trilogy in one volume so you can read all three without missing a beat.

    My copy of the trilogy is ragged, stained and well loved. This trilogy ranks with the Lord Of the Rings in terms of story, detailed world creation, and exceeds it in readability. A must!
