Read the Rangers Apprentice Book 5 Review
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 suddenly thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure, investigating fears of sorcery and trying to determine who is loyal to Lord Syron...and who is planning to betray him.
Will and Alyss must battle growing hysteria, traitors, and most of all, time.
Lord Syron 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 best-selling series.

"Now my best hope is that you are a Ranger, because I need help getting away from this castle, and I dobt if a simple jongleur would be up to the task." He paused then added, "I assume that Lady Gwendolyn is also more than she seems?"
"How did you..." Will began, then stopped, realizing he had said too much. Orman smiled. "Don't assume that because a person is umpopular, he's also stupid," he said.
"The two of you turned up virtually at the same time, then Lady Gwendolyn had you summoned to her rooms. Very convenient. And then you both just happened to go riding at the same time. I'm not a fool." - Will and Orman, Rangers Apprentice, The Sorcerer of the North
