From John Flanagan, author of the worldwide bestselling Ranger's
Apprentice, comes a brand-new chapter in the adventures of young
Skandians who form a different kind of family--a brotherband.
When the Brotherband crew are caught in a massive storm at sea, they're
blown far off course and wash up on the shores of a land so far west
that Hal can't recognize it from any of his maps. Eerily, the locals are
nowhere in sight, yet the Herons have a creeping feeling they are being
watched.
Suddenly the silence is broken when a massive, marauding bear appears,
advancing on two children. The crew springs into action and rescues the
children from the bear's clutches, which earns them the gratitude and
friendship of the local Mawagansett tribe, who finally reveal
themselves. But the peace is short-lived. The Ghostfaces, a ruthless,
warlike tribe who shave their heads and paint their faces white, are on
the warpath once more. It's been ten years since they raided the
Mawagansett village, but they're coming back to pillage and reap
destruction. As the enemy approaches, the Herons gear up to help their
new friends repel an invasion.
In this sixth book in the action-packed Brotherband Chronicles, the
Herons find themselves in unfamiliar lands and prepare for battle with a
ruthless, unknown enemy.
