About this ebook
The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone!
Several years have passed since the apprentice and his master, Will and Halt, first met, and Will is finally a full-fledged Ranger with his own fief to look after. The fief seems sleepy?boring, even?until Lord Syron, master of a castle far in the north, is struck down by a mysterious illness. Joined by his friend Alyss, Will is suddenly thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure, investigating fears of sorcery and trying to determine who is loyal to Lord Syron. As Will battles growing hysteria, traitors, and most of all, time, Alyss is taken hostage, and Will is forced to make a desperate choice between his mission and his friend.
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.

This unusual series sucked me in and has captivsted my children and I heart and soul. It's a mix between castle and harry potter. Keeps you on the edge of your seat while you wait for the obvious to be hurled into oblivion.

This book gets you filled with curiosity. You think, "well if its a sorcerer, then that equals magic, soo, can rangers handle magic too? This book also teaches you a lesson, sometimes you shouldn't listen to what people say until you see and hear it yourself. Another thing I learned is that sometimes when a person is unpopular or disliked by many and can be replaced by another, it does not mean that he or she is not trying there best or is a bad person. I loved this book, it can teach you a life lesson.
