About this ebook

The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone!

For years, the Kingdom of Araluen has prospered, with the evil lord Morgarath safely behind the impassable mountains. For years, its people have felt secure. But the scheming hand of the dark lord has not been idle. . . . On a special mission for the rangers, Will and his friend Horace, an apprentice knight, travel to a neighboring village and discover the unsettling truth: all the villagers have either been slain or captured. Could it be that Morgarath has finally devised a plan to bring his legions over the supposedly insurmountable pass? If so, the king's army is in imminent danger of being crushed in a fierce ambush. And Will and Horace are the only ones who can save them.

Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Ratings and reviews

I was introduced to the series by my librarian in library special class, im 10 but amazing wording and it really plants a picture in your head. Can't stop reading ... I would die without the series. The action and mystery mix is the best😊😊😊

I love all of these books! They are entertaining, and they teach me things. Like how to be sneaky like a ranger ;)

FINE MEDEVIL FANTASY....MOSTLY SWORD...BARE MIN SORCERY MAIN PLAYERS WELL DEVELOPED..GREAT PACE..WITH A GREAT STORY
