Publisher's Summary

Five years have passed since the Skandians and the Araluans made their treaty, and Will has finally become a Ranger, with his own fief to look after. He soon learns that even sleepy little islands have problems to keep him on his toes. Then he and his old friend Alyss are thrown into a terrifying new adventure, investigating the truth behind rumours of sorcery in a remote northern fief. As he stands in Grimsdell Forest, with the horrific, ghostly Night Warrior looming over him, Will must ask himself one question: is there a rational explanation... or does sorcery really exist?

Possibly the best book in the series

I just love the fact that William Zappa does his girls voices so that they sound like actual girls

Excellent

Any additional comments?

Im not sure why but this book and 'the siege of Macindaw' are my favourite books in the rangers apprentice series. Considering the amount of times Will has received commendation it's nice to know he is still reasonably humble and unsure of himself. Will can still admit when he needs help and even alows someone else to take control of a situation he is unfaliliar with. I'm not really sure what to say without giving to much away but this book ends on a cliff hanger, leaving you wanting more. It's necessary break and stops at a good spot.
