The Ranger's Apprentice
Book 1: The Ruins of Gorlan
The Ranger's Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan is the first book in the Ranger's Apprentice series. It is the story of how a boy named Will comes to find his place in the Kingdom of Araluen.
Orphaned as a baby, Will was taken on as a ward of the castle Redmont. All he knows about his parents is that his mother died in childbirth and his father dies a hero in battle. As is tradition, on Choosing Day, each ward gets to become an apprentice to one of the castle's trademasters. Although fifteen-year-old Will desperately wants to be accepted into Battleschool, he is rejected. But the Ranger Halt gives Baron Arold a slip of paper that will determine Will's fate. The night of Choosing Day, Will seals his fate by climbing into the beacon's office and is caught by the ranger. Will has shown that he possesses the skills required to become an apprentice ranger.
Will starts his training under the grim ranger Halt, where he learns many of the ranger skills. He proves his courage during a wild boar hunt by saving his wardmate Horace, a Battleschool apprentice, and he is soon on his way to completing his first assessment when the Ranger Corps gets news of war.
In this thrilling adventure, Will's courage, skill, and ingenuity are tested. But will he hold up under the pressure?
