International bestselling author John Flanagan returns to world of Ranger's Apprentice in the fourth installment of the Royal Ranger series starring Maddie, Will Treaty's fearless young apprentice.
Will Treaty and his apprentice, Maddie have been urgently summoned to Castle Araluen. When they arrive they learn a shocking truth: the Prince of Gallica is missing--and the King of Gallica has asked for help. All reports suggest that the young prince has been taken prisoner by the dangerous and powerful Baron Joubert de Lassigny. King Duncan knows that sending troops to Gallica to rescue the prince could start a war, as could openly helping Gallica resolve internal convict. But there's another way to save the prince: the Ranger Corps.
Soon, Will and Maddie are on the road to rescue the missing prince, disguised as father and daughter jongleurs. Maddie will have to use her knifethrowing skills to keep up her disguise, and her ranger's apprentice training to complete the mission. But going undercover is dangerous--and the road presents its own hazards. Can she and Will use all their talents to save the prince, or will the arrogant Baron uncover their plans and put their lives, and their kingdom, at risk?

Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, Brian Jacques's Redwall, and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones!

Customer Reviews
Part 1 of at least 2 (spoilers included)
This feels as if it is part 1 of a 2 to 4 part story. There comes a point in the story where you realize it’s going to be a cliffhanger and how it is going to end without resolving a single plot
(Spoilers below)
It feels as if this may be more than the now expected 2 part ranger story as follows:
Part 1: rangers find prince but get caught
Part 2: old ranger finds and rescues rangers and prince ends with all on the run
Part 3: prince returned but captors and king turn on rangers
Part 4: rangers escape and find their way back home
oh
just oh. thought it was about to start getting good and then it was over. why does this cost as much as a full book when it’s so obviously a quarter of one that he stretch into a bare semblance of a “whole book” clear that he’s lost whatever his motivation for writing was.
