About this book
Will and Evanlyn’s escape from the icy north is cut short when a new enemy appears, forcing the young Ranger’s apprentice back into danger. With Halt and Horace racing to help, the friends are drawn into a high-stakes struggle as the fearsome Temujai threaten to invade. To survive, old rivals must become allies and clever strategy matters as much as skill with a blade. Fast-paced battles, tight-knit teamwork, and witty banter make this a thrilling pick for adventurous readers who enjoy epic quests and tactical warfare.
Setting: Skandia and Araluen in a medieval-inspired fantasy world of northern seas and forests
