The Blue Sword is set in the same universe as The Hero and the Crown, but far into the future. Despite that, this book comes before Hero and the Crown. The story is about a young girl who never felt that she really fit in until she goes to stay with a family in the desert where her brother is stationed. One night she's kidnapped by one of the local tribes' king. While staying with them she is trained to fight in the hopes that she'll be able to help them fight off the people from the North, who are the enemy of everyone. It's a really good book, one of my favorites in fact, but it does a LOT of jumping around until you feel like you've just missed the point entirely. She also mentions things that are never and will never be explained, and only make a bit more sense when you've read Hero and the Crown.
