Product Description

Time has passed since the apprentice and his master, Will and Halt, led the Araluens to victory against invaders, and Will is now a full-fledged Ranger with his own fief to look after. The fief seems sleepy— boring, even—until the king is poisoned. Joined by his friend Alyss, Will is thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure propelled by fears of sorcery, and must determine who is trustworthy to the king and who is trying to take his throne.

Will and Alyss must battle growing hysteria, traitors, and most of all, time. The king is fading, but when Alyss is taken hostage, Will is forced to make a desperate choice between loyalty to his mission and loyalty to his friend.

Adventure abounds in this absorbing installment of the New York Times bestselling series.

Ranger's Apprentice Book 5
This book was preordered and came on the exact day it was supposed to. The person it was for was so ecstatic!!! He read it in two weeks and never used to read befor this book!! This is and excellent series!!! I recommend it for anyone who wants their teenager to read!!!

A must read saga continues
Ranger's Apprentice: The Sorcerer of the North (Ranger's Apprentice)

I loved this book just as much as the rest of the series. The ingenuity of Will in solving problems, and the growing relationships he has as he matures as a ranger makes for non stop action and adventure. These characters, Horace and Alyssa and the older rangers continue to delight and engage. This book left us hanging, can't wait for the next one! This series is appropriate for children over around 8-10yo and can be read by the whole family.
