There are many stories that have been done to death, but "girl who becomes a knight and saves her country" is not one of them. :D
Provost's Dog may be my favorite of Pierce's series (I've not read them all). It is set in Tortall, about 200 years before Song of the Lioness. Beka Cooper, the protagonist, is George Cooper's ancestor. She is very, very working class: she comes out of the slums to join the Provost's Guard (in other words, she's a cop). The three books in the series are called Terrier, Bloodhound, and Mastiff, which gives you a sense of her personality.
