About the book

After a senseless tragedy destroys his life, Will is obsessed with punishing those responsible -- even if it means leaving the Ranger Corps. His worried friends must find a way to stop him taking such a dark path. It is Halt who suggests the solution: Will must take an apprentice. The candidate Halt has in mind surprises everyone -- and it's a request Will cannot refuse. Training a rebellious, unwilling apprentice is hard enough. But when a routine mission uncovers a shocking web of crime, Will must decide where his priorities lie -- finishing his quest for revenge, or saving innocent lives? Originally known as "The Royal Ranger,", it was the twelfth and final novel in the Ranger's Apprentice series. In 2018, it was renamed and became the first book in the sequel series, "The Royal Ranger."
