Erak's Ransom (Ranger's Apprentice #07)

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

In the wake of Araluen's uneasy truce with the raiding Skandians comes word that the Skandian leader has been captured by a dangerous desert tribe. The Rangers - and Will - are sent to free him. But the desert is like nothing these warriors have seen before. Strangers in a strange land, they are brutalized by sandstorms, beaten by the unrelenting heat, tricked by one tribe that plays by its own rules, and surprisingly befriended by another. Like a desert mirage, nothing is as it seems. Yet one thing is constant: the bravery of the Rangers.

“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
