They have always scared him in the past - the Rangers, with their dark cloaksand shadowy ways. The villagers belive the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible to ordinary people. And now 15-year-old Will, always small for his age, has been chosen as a Ranger's apprentice. What he doesn't yet realize is that the Ranger's are the protectors of the kingdom. Highly trained in the skills of battle and surveillance, they fight the battles before the battles reach the people. And as Will is about to learn, there is a battle brewing. The exiled Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering his forces on the kingdom. This time, he will not be denied.Review:
This book is full of fantasy, trust, mystery, loyalty, friendship, and adventure. When Will accepts his apprenticeship, he immediately is engaged in the war that is getting nearer to the Redmont castle, where all the villagers and craft masters live. He and his master, Halt, set out to meet the battle before it gets too risky; after all Will is trained enough for the trip. Meanwhile, Horace is having trouble in battle school. There are three bullies who are making his life miserable. Bryn, Jerome, and Alda are beating on Horace, calling him baby, and are not helping him at all with the hard battle training. Horace and Will grew up with each other in the castle, along with a few other kids. But now they all have their own masters to learn from.
Morgarath has already killed one king with two of his Kalkara, a cross from a monkey and a bear that paralyzes a person with fear if you look it in the eyes. They are assassins, designed to set out and kill one person at a time. There are also the wargals, beasts with sharp teeth and claws that are mind-controlled by Morgarath. Can Will and the Rangers stop this battle?
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SERIES EVER!! :)
