Description

The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone!

They have always scared him in the past—the Rangers, with their dark cloaksand shadowy ways. The villagers believe 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 Rangers 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 large battle brewing. The exiled Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering his forces for an attack on the kingdom. This time, he will not be denied. . . .

Here is the fantasy adventure that launched the Ranger's Apprentice series, an epic story of heroes and villains that has become an international phenomenon. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T.H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire series.

    I’ve been reading Ranger’s Apprentice for years now. I have gone back and reread the series sooooo many times. Ranger’s Apprentice has always been there for me to lift me up when I’m feeling down and made me laugh when I needed encouragement! I am so connected to these characters that Will could be my baby brother and Halt could be my second dad❤️ All these characters are so well done and extremely likable (well… except for Morgarath😒) John Flanagan is probably my favorite author and I’ve been keeping up with his books and even bought the Australian edition of the ninth Brother Band because I didn’t want to wait!! If anyone is reading this review because they are on the fence about reading this, let me push you onto a Ranger horse and shoot off into this amazing series! John Flanagan, all of your fans thank you for the most amazing series ever! God bless🥰 ~HalttheCritic

    I’ve been out of school for a while now so I haven’t really been reading all that much but I have been traveling all over the country for the company I work for and I picked up reading again and I couldn’t stop reading this book. I’m a sucker for character development and there is plenty to go around in this book. Absolutely a 10/10 in my opinion, it’s a must read.
