It's been 4 years since Will and Halt helped the Skandians. Four years of growing up into a young man. Will is now a full Ranger, no longer an apprentice. He's being assigned his first mission alone, which takes him to a faraway fief in the kingdom. Along the way he finds a new companion, a sheep dog badly injured on the side of the road. Upon arriving at the castle he discovers the training and precautions are quite lax and things need a Ranger's touch. And he's to meet the Skandians once again. His mission is then moved to play the part of a jongleur. He must trek to the kingdom's boundaries, there are rumors of an age old sorcerer causing havoc and slowing killing a king with sickness. Will meets an old childhood friend, who was an orphan like himself, working as a courier now. Alyss has grownup tall and beautiful. Will there be romance between the old friends, or will the shadow of the Princess hold the Ranger back? Things take a turn for the worse, the king's son has now become ill. Will must seek out the sorcerer for help to heal the prince. Deceit becomes apparent with the poisoning of the prince. In his trek to find the sorcerer Will discovers not everything is as he's heard. Back at home Halt is growing concerned for the young Ranger and Courier and dispatches the best knight in the kingdom. Horace is on his way to help his friends. This book like the others is a page turner. However, as other reviewers have mentioned it's a bit of half a book. To me, it's like your favorite TV show. They end it on a cliff hanger and you are forced to wait for the next episode. I don't feel this is a bad thing, it keeps the reader eager for the next book. I just wish they came out closer to each other. This is recommend to adults and teens alike, these are excellent books and a superb series.
