King Duncan and Princess Cassandra are trapped high in the south tower of Castle Araluen. In the north, Sir Horace and Ranger Commandant Gilan are besieged in an old hill fort as they wait for the Red Fox Clan's next attack. Ranger's apprentice Maddie must find the Heron brotherband and convince them to join her, so she can give her father the help he needs to break out from the hill fort and ride to confront the traitor. Will they reach Castle Araluen in time? And when the battles have been fought and the dust has settled, who will rule the Kingdom of Araluen?

Story
John Flanagan returns to the world of Ranger’s Apprentice to find out what happens when Will’s apprentice, Maddie - the Royal Ranger - returns home to Castle Araluen. The Kingdom may have been at peace for a number of years, but there are always those who would commit treason to take power for themselves. When Maddie learns of a plot against the crown, she must go undercover to find out more - and hopefully stop it. But going undercover isn’t easy when you’re the princess - even if you’re trained as a Ranger.

Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best-selling series continues with another nail-biting mission for Will Treaty and his fearless young apprentice.
King Philippe of Gallica appeals to King Duncan for help. His son is being held hostage by a power-hungry baron, and Philippe wants Duncan to send a Ranger to rescue the boy.
Will and Maddie are perfect for the task. Travelling as father and daughter to allay suspicion, they will pose as entertainers to infiltrate the Chateau des Falaises, where the prince is being held.
But travelling through Gallica has its own risks: armed bandits, wild weather and even a mysterious follower all have to be faced and overcome. Will they ever find the prince?
And if they do, how will they rescue him from the evil Baron Lassigny?
Critic Reviews
"Such an exciting plot, clearly drawn characters and strong element of danger should engage, thrill and inspire young readers who love adventure stories." (Viewpoint)
"Fans of the series will eagerly devour this one and wait impatiently for the next.... A sure bet for fantasy fans." (School Library Journal)

Great Audiobook
Yet another great audiobook in the Royal Ranger series. After listening to all of The Ranger's Apprentice books and the Royal Ranger series to date, I can say with certainty that the writing is just as good as ever. The different structure of Royal Ranger so far which extends stories over multiple novels has been vastly superior in my opinion, and the stories feel far more fleshed out.

Don’t buy yet or maybe ever !?
Another brilliant work but don’t buy it. This is part 1 with a cliffhanger. This is the first time John Flanagan really has F’ed It up, the story as is, is the usual quality but with a brutal evil suspenseful cliffhanger, why,why,why John Keating is brilliant as usual but I don’t understand why he has taken on this half-story. The only excuse for this thing might be CORONA-insanity. Please make a new full version of Book 4 Greetings Denmark !

dissapointing
There is no indication of this being half a story...is the other half in existance? Very dissapointed by the ending being dangled with no further idea of when or if the other half is available. I must say I don't enjoy the narrator half as much as William Zappa.

Only half a story!!
Wasted 8 hours and it stopped in the middle of the story, very unsatisfying. It should be clearly marked as part one of two.
