Halt and Crowley discover the ambitious Morgarath has been corrupting the Ranger Corps with plans to steal the throne.
Hal, the Herons, Gilan, and his fellow Rangers join forces to track down whispers of a deadly sect-the Scorpion Cult-threatening to assassinate Queen Evanlyn.
The pirate Zavac is defeated and the Adomal restored. Now Hal, the Herons, and Gilan must track down an old enemy who has turned pirate and slave trader.
A tragedy destroyed Will’s life, and he will punish those responsible – even if he must leave the Ranger Corps. It’s Halt who forces an apprentice on Will, one he can’t refuse.
Hal and the Herons are hunting the pirate Zavac, for he’s stolen the Andomal, the priceless Skandian artifact stolen when the brotherband let down their guard.
They’re misfits who did the impossible and won the Brotherband, beating out the best young warriors. A party that ends when the Herons lose Skandia’s sacred artifact.
Young outcasts of the village are tossed into a team. It’s seafaring adventure and epic battle as the boys learn to work as a brotherband to defeat the bullies.
Only now, centuries after these men and women walked the earth, do we have confirmation of their existence. Behold, ten The Lost Stories of the Ranger’s Apprentice epic.
Horace is missing on his mission to Nihon-Ja, and Alyss, Evanlyn, and Will go in search. And fending off master Senji warriors intent on overthrowing the emperor.
Chasing a cult conning the innocent, Will and Halt are ambushed. It’s a poisoned arrow that fells Halt, and Will must find the one person able to save him.
