Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bracing for a final clash with the evil warlord Morgarath, the Rangers rally the kingdom's allies, and Will is chosen, along with his friend Horace, as special envoys to nearby Celtica. But the simple mission soon takes an unsettling turn — the Celticans have disappeared, their town abandoned. The scheming hand of Morgarath, it seems, has been far from idle. He has found a way to bring his legions over the once impassible eastern mountains and is planning to ambush the king’s army in a rout. Now with help many miles away, Will and Horace are the only ones standing in the way of the dark lord’s plans.They have shown great skill and courage in their training, but how will they fare in the face of true evil?

With bigger battles and higher stakes, John Flanagan's epic adventure charges ahead with this rousing follow-up to The Ruins of Gorlan.

I thought the first was amazing! The second: Twice as good. I literally read two hours a day in the summer when schools out. It is a book you will never want to put down. I was up till midnight reading it.

This book is for fantasy lovers, due to the created creatures, medival period, and no modern technology.

If you read the first, and you thought it was just good, Grab the second because you will read it over and over again throughout the years.
