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

Still far from home after escaping slavery in the icebound land of Skandia, young Will and Evanlyn's plans to return to Araluen are spoiled when Evanlyn is taken captive. Though still weak, Will employs his Ranger training to locate his friend but soon finds himself fatally outnumbered. Will is certain death is close at hand, until Halt and Horace make a daring last-minute rescue. But their reunion is cut short by the horrifying discovery that Skandia's borders have been breached by the Temujai army - and Araluen is next in their sights. Only an unlikely union can save the two kingdoms, but can it hold long enough to vanquish a ruthless new enemy?

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.

“A fantastic read! The Ranger’s Apprentice series is an absolutely gripping adventure filled with courage, friendship, and just the right amount of danger. Flanagan’s writing is fast-paced and highly engaging, with a world that pulls you in so you never want to stop reading. The characters feel real, loyal, and deeply memorable. Best of all, the series remains clean and non-graphic throughout—battles are intense without being gory, and the humor, heart, and wholesome camaraderie make it perfect for younger readers and adults alike.” — Purely Fiction Reader Review
