Book description
Will, your time is running out.
A renegade knight has captured Castle Macindaw, poisoning the royal
family and is conspiring to overthrow the Kingdom.
For you, this battle is even more personal. For inside the castle,
someone you love is being held hostage.
You are a Ranger now, and you must be the hero you were trained to be.
John Flanagan began his working life in advertising before moving
to freelance writing and script editing. He has written TV jingles and
comedy-drama for television, and is one of Australia's more prolific
TV writers.
John wrote the first book in The Ranger's Apprentice series
to encourage his twelve-year-old son to enjoy reading. Michael was a
small boy, and all his friends were bigger and stronger that he was.
John wanted to show him that reading was fun, and heroes weren't
necessarily big and muscular. Now in his mid-twenties, Michael is six
feet tall, broad-shouldered and powerful - but he still loves The
Ranger's Apprentice.
John lives in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly.
