The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone! After years as a Ranger's apprentice, Will is now the protector of his first fief. Not long into his service, everything that can go wrong does: Keren, a renegade knight, has taken over Castle Macindaw, a strategic gateway to the North--poisoning the royal family in the process--and is holding Will's friend Alyss captive. The situation grows direr when Will uncovers Keren's secret alliance with the Scotti, who have plans to plunder Araluen. Time is of the essence, and Will must recruit a motley crew to rescue Alyss and reclaim Castle Macindaw--before the Scotti can make it their own.This New York Times bestselling series maintains its breathless pace in this newest installment. 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.

"that’s it. this is my favorite one so far. <br/>these are a few of my favorite quotes. there are more, yet i am a bit lazy. <br/><br/>“‘It’s a pity you didn’t bring a trumpet,’ he said. ‘That way you could make a bit more noise.’”<br/><br/>“And in that instant, he had to leave her some vestige of memory or forgiveness for what she was about to do.<br/>‘Alyss,’ he said quietly, "I love you. I always have’”<br/><br/>"’Good night, son,’ Halt said. He chose the last word intentionally.” <br/><br/>“They paused, then she leaned forward, rested her hands lightly on his shoulders and kissed him. But this kiss was not on the cheek. Once, long ago, he had marveled at the softness of her lips. He remembered that time now.”<br/><br/>“ Write to me please and tell me what you Did say. In the<br/>meantime, ill take Horace's advice and just say it myself.<br/>I love you.<br/>Alyss. “<br/><br/>“Making his way outside again, he paused for a second as he locked the cabin door behind him. <br/>He was conscious of an unfamiliar sensation, something he hadn't felt for some time. Then he realized what it was and smiled quietly.<br/>It was happiness.”"
