Product Description:
Kidnapped after the fierce battle with Lord Morgarath, Will and Evanlyn are bound for Skandia as captives aboard a fearsome wolfship. Halt has sworn to rescue Will, and he will do anything to keep his promise—even defy his King.

Expelled from the Rangers he has served so loyally, Halt is joined by Will’s friend Horace as he travels toward Skandia. On their way, they are challenged constantly by freelance knights—but Horace knows a thing or two about combat. Soon he begins to attract the attention of knights and warlords for miles around with his uncanny skill. Even so, will they be in time to rescue Will from a horrific life of slavery?

The smash hit series continues with another heart stopping adventure.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great
this series of books is really great it is one of the best written early teen books i have ever read. although it is not straight up fighting all the way. even the slower parts are exciting and entertaining. john flanagan is one heck of an author.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ranger's Apprentice series
I struggled through the first few pages of the Ranger's Apprentice Book 1, but then I was caught up in the story. My seventh grade students-reluctant readers and excellent readers-have devoured this series as well. The author wrote this to entice his son, and in so doing, he has given a gift to teenage readers. The plot is exciting, the characters believable and likeable, and Flanagan's subtle humor just adds to the delight of this series. I just received the fourth book in the series; can't wait ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I can't put the book down!
I read this book a few weeks ago and read the whole thing in one night. The story just keeps you wanting to read. If you are looking for fantasy or adventure this book is just right for you. The only problem with this book is that it keeps you hanging. That is why I am so excited to get a hold of the new book. All of the Ranger books have been so much fun to read. Read this book if you don't want to miss out on one of the best fantasy books ever.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 3rd in the Ranger's Apprentice Series for Youth
After the events in the previous book, Will and Evanlyn have been kidnapped and taken to Skandia. And Will's mentor Halt has sworn to rescue them, no matter what it takes.

This installment followed two main storylines, jumping back and forth between Will and Evanlyn's predicament and Halt and Horace's journey to rescue them. Skandia is the "Icebound Land" where the inhabitants are mercenaries, and where Will and Evanlyn are forced into slavery. Halt and Horace must face knights and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - As good, if not better than the others in the series
The third installment in the Rangers Apprentice series is as good, if not better than the others. The action really starts from when Will tries to escape with the Kings daughter. The action just starts rising from there. I give it a four out of five, because it can always be improved.
