They have always scared him in the past—the Rangers, with their dark cloaks and shadowy ways. The villagers believe the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible to ordinary people. And now 15-year-old Will, always small for his age, has been chosen as a Ranger’s apprentice. What he doesn’t yet realize is that the Rangers are the protectors of the kingdom. Highly trained in the skills of battle and surveillance, they fight the battles before the battles reach the people. And as Will is about to learn, there is a large battle brewing. The exiled Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering his forces for an attack on the kingdom. This time, he will not be denied. . . .

i love this book kinda like a harry potter meets the reaping in the hunger games. read this book if you like adventure and lots of suspence
Really good book, I like the main character: Will, and his teacher: Halt. I really recommend this book because it has a great story line.
This series is awesome!!!!!!!You will love it I have admit that it sooooooo boring in the beginning but the whole series is amazing and action packed.My personel favorite is Battle for Skandia book four.
this was one of the most amazing books i have ever read!! it just gets better the farther you get in the series!! i can't wait to order the 3 book from the library. i do not remember any swear words in the book at all and i just finished the 1st and 2nd books. !! i have both 1 and 2nd books!! i could read this series over and over agian!!!!!!
Once you read this book you will find yourself reading nonstop! Will was just a mere farm boy when Halt a Ranger taught him how to fight and fight like a ranger. In this book Will and Halt are hunting a dangerous beast of Lord Moragath, The Kalkara!
I liked this book a lot because of all the adventure. There was a few swear words, so I don't think anyone younger than 10 should read it. I am reading the whole series now because I thought it was so totally awesome!!!!! :)
it didn't like this book at all in the begining. But once u get past chapter 7 it gets interesting. I loved the end so it's just one of those books where u have to keep reading for it to get better.
