This is the third book in the Ranger's Apprentice series. Will captured and heading for the icebound land of Skandia is bound for a hard life as a slave. Mean while in Araluen Halt, a King's Ranger, is trying to get leave to find his captured apprentice. When the Ranger Commandant tells him he can not search for his lost apprentice Halt will take things into his own hands even if that means getting banished form the realm so he can look for Will. Joined by Will's best friend Horace he and Halt shall travel far and wide trying to find Will. Unknown to either Will, Halt or Horace they are all going to get more then they ever bargained for.
I recommend this book for its fast passed and it hardly has a dull moment. With the complexity of the characters, it is impossible to only read one of his books in the series.
John Flanagan's writing style is discriptive but not so it goes on and on, just enough so the th reader can get a feel for the book. His characters have a depth to them that makes them feel real not something just made of paper and fancy words. Even the grim faced Halt is as likeable as young Will.
