A New Beginning

Many years ago, Will joined the mysterious Rangers who protect the Kingdom of Araluen. Under Halt's guidance, Will grew into a legend. Now it is time for him to train his own apprentice. The candidate is the last person Will would ever have expected. His new apprentice is of royal blood – a dangerous secret to be kept – as well as rebellious, unwilling and definitely not used to hard work. The task seems impossible, but Will cannot refuse. And when a routine mission uncovers a shocking web of crime, Will's new apprentice might come in handy – and even save his life. *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."*
