About this book
When a Gallican prince is taken hostage by a ruthless baron, King Duncan sends Rangers Will Treaty and his young apprentice Maddie on a covert rescue. Disguised as traveling entertainers, they must infiltrate a heavily guarded chateau while dodging bandits, storms, and a shadowy pursuer. Fast-paced action, clever disguises, and classic Ranger stealth make this a gripping mission story. Perfect for middle school readers who enjoy medieval-style adventures, teamwork, and smart strategy over magic.
Setting: Gallica (a medieval-inspired, fictional version of France), chateaux and countryside
